A foreign Affair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it's okay, I could show you, that everything is going to be fine
You got what I need but you don't even see
The way your light up every room
No one takes their eyes off you
Every time you walk on by
Guess I can be your get away
Can't say it's where I want to be
But for now this is the only thing that's real
Guess that we can play pretend if it means that I can see tonight
You pull me in closer, just so you can push me far away each time
Up and down my rollercoaster
I can't seem to find my way off of this ride
You got what I need but you keep me guessing
Guess I should probably to let you go
Feels like I get vertigo
Every time you walk on by
Guess I can be your get away
Till you find yourself another way to heal
Can't say it's where I want to be
But for know this is the only thing that's real
I guess that we can play pretend if it means that I can see tonight
Swimming through each other's skin
We make it harder for us to say goodbye
Feels just like I dive right in
Can we even make it this time
Swimming through each other's skin
But both of us are drowning this time
Feels just like I dive right in
Can we even make it this time
Guess I can be your get away
Till you find yourself another way to heal
Can't say it's where I want to be
But for know this is the only thing that's real
