Affection (Unplugged)

[Verse 1]
Believe 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
Of your affection

[Verse 2]
Believe me, oh, it happens all the time
Affection can be as cruel as it is kind
Oh, and lover, won't you give me a sign?
Seems 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
Of your affection

[Bridge]
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
Of your affection
