Affection - Amber Run

Trust me, it always turns out the same

Affection has always been a little game

Forgive me, it’s one I’ve never understood

Love to me has been as bad as good

I’ve been drowning in the water that you’re walking on

And falling through the air whilst you float up

Hey ya, hey ya

I’ll kiss your eyes, I’ll wash your skin

Hey ya, hey ya

Forget myself and let you in

Hey ya, hey ya

'Cause all I want is that cold affliction, your affection

Affection

And believe me, it happens all the time

Affection can be as cruel as it is kind

Oh lover, won’t you give me a sign?

Love can be as deaf as it is blind

I’ve been drowning in the water that you’re walking on

And falling through the air whilst you float up

Hey ya, hey ya

I’ll kiss your eyes, I’ll wash your skin

Hey ya, hey ya

Forget myself and let you in

Hey ya, hey ya

'Cause all I want is that cold affliction, your affection

And fall down into sleep, into a fever dream

Where I barely know what is going on

Except I know that I want you, and I know that I need you

And I tell you I love you again and again and again and again

Hey ya, hey ya

I’ll kiss your eyes, I’ll wash your skin

Hey ya, hey ya

Forget myself and let you in

Hey ya, hey ya

'Cause all I want is that cold affliction, your affection

Affection
