Trust me, it always turns out the same
Affection is 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 floating through the air whilst you float on

I kiss you as I wash your skin
Hey ah, hey ah
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ah, hey ah
'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 floating through the air whilst you float on

I kiss you as I wash your skin
Forget myself and let you in
'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

I kiss you as I wash your skin
Hey ah, hey ah
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ah, hey ah
'Cause all I want is that cold affliction, your affection
Affection
