Affection Lyrics by Amber Run

Philophobia

2019

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been drowning in the water that you're walking on
And falling through the air whilst you float up

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been drowning in the water that you're walking on
And falling through the air whilst you float up

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
