Illicit affairs

[00:19.95] Make sure nobody sees you leave

[00:21.56] Hood over your head, keep your eyes down

[00:25.55] Tell your friends you're out for a run

[00:29.25] You'll be flushed when you return

[00:33.50] Take the road less traveled by

[00:37.24] Tell yourself you can always stop

[00:41.57] What started in beautiful rooms

[00:45.29] Ends with meetings in parking lots

[00:47.94] And that's the thing about illicit affairs

[00:51.16] And clandestine meetings and longing stares

[00:55.68] It's born from just one single glance

[00:59.13] But it dies, and it dies, and it dies

[01:02.59] A million little times

[01:13.48] Leave the perfume on the shelf

[01:17.46] That you picked out just for him

[01:21.72] So you leave no trace behind

[01:25.44] Like you don't even exist

[01:29.41] Take the words for what they are

[01:33.40] A dwindling, mercurial high

[01:37.69] A drug that only worked

[01:41.42] The first few hundred times

[01:44.08] And that's the thing about illicit affairs

[01:47.53] And clandestine meetings and stolen stares

[01:50.19] They show their truth one single time

[01:55.23] But they lie, and they lie, and they lie

[01:58.43] A million little times

[02:06.94] And you wanna scream

[02:07.99] Don't call me "kid", don't call me "baby"

[02:11.72] Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

[02:17.07] You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else

[02:23.71] Don't call me "kid", don't call me "baby"

[02:27.71] Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

[02:32.76] You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

[02:39.42] And you know damn well

[02:42.62] For you I would ruin myself

[02:46.60] A million little times
