affection

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

falling through the air as you float up

hey ya

hey ya

i'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin

hey ya

hey ya

forget myself and let you in

hey ya

hey ya

because all i want is that cold affliction

your affection

affection

believe me

it happens all the time

affection can be as cruel as it is kind

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

falling through the air as you float up

hey ya

hey ya

i'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin

hey ya

hey ya

forget myself and let you in

hey ya

hey ya

because all i want is that cold affliction

your affection

fall down into sleep

into a fevered 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 and wash your skin

hey ya

hey ya

forget myself and let you in

hey ya

hey ya

because all i want is that cold affliction

your affection
