Affection
Ivory City Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And it feels like magic (magic, magic, magic, magic)
And it feels like magic (magic, magic, magic, magic)
I'll admit I'm a fool
I'm an idiot, I'll admit
When we dance you remove this skin I'm tripping in
Tripping in
I'm screaming out your name at the top of my lungs
Of my lungs

Julia, I know you hear my call
Cause when we touch
When we fuck
When we talk
When we move, it's always right

I know you hear me the way I
Hear you in my head every single night
I'm in the desperate need of
In the need of your affection
I know you hear me the way I
Hear you in my head every single night
I'm in the desperate need of your affection
And it feels like magic,
It feels like heaven
When you're wrapped around me
Oh, and it feels like magic
It feels like magic (magic, magic, magic)

What if I couldn't sing to you the way that I do?
Would I still make you wet,
Or would you think I'm a fool?
Would you understand?
When you're ready to begin,
Give yourself into the love that
Surrounds you and let it seep into your skin
Never mind the world, never mind the people
Dance like you've never danced before
Give yourself in just a little bit more more more

I know you hear me the way I
Hear you in my head every single night
I'm in the desperate need of
In the need of your affection
I know you hear me the way I
Hear you in my head every single night
I'm in the desperate need of your affection
And it feels like magic,
It feels like heaven
When you're wrapped around me
Oh, and it feels like magic
It feels like magic

I know you hear me the way I
Hear you in my head every single night
I'm in the desperate need of
In the need of your affection
I know you hear me the way I
Hear you in my head every single night
I'm in the desperate need of your affection
And it feels like magic
And it feels like heaven, when you're wrapped around me
Oh and it feels like magic

And it feels like magic
It feels like, feels like
