Affairs

[Verse 1]
She's gone out of her way
To keep him a place in time
He's holding on with the grip of a titan
And she has made up her mind
She's gone, it's a shame
He couldn't convince her to stay
I called your name of a crowd full of strangers
I saw you look my way

[Pre-Chorus]
The look in your eyes me tongue tied
And I tried to move you, but I'm stuck to the ground
I didn't mean to leave you hangin' around
I didn't think that I was getting you down

[Chorus]
We tried to get ourselves together
We built a fire, we just couldn't handle the flares
Spent the night in search for something better
We'd cry, but that's no way to handle affairs
But that's no way to handle affairs

[Verse 2]
Take me back in your arms
I'm dying to feel your embrace
He's holding on by the tips of his fingers
She says she needs more space
Take me back to the days
When we swore that violets were blue
My mind is racing and my heart's on fire
She's loving somebody new

[Chorus]
We tried to get ourselves together
We built a fire, we just couldn't handle the flares
Spent the night in search for something better
We'd cry, but that's no way to handle affairs
But that's no way to handle affairs

[Outro]
We tried
We built a fire
Spent the night
We'd cry, but that's no way to handle affairs
That's no way to handle affairs
That's no way to handle affairs
That's no way to handle affairs
