illicit affairs

[00:16.68] Make sure nobody sees you leave

[00:20.43] Hood over your head, keep your eyes down

[00:24.68] Tell your friends you're out for a run

[00:28.43] You’ll be flushed when you return

[00:32.68] Take the road less traveled by

[00:36.93] Tell yourself you can always stop

[00:41.68] What started in beautiful rooms

[00:45.17] Ends with meetings in parking lots

[00:48.68] And that's the thing about illicit affairs

[00:51.18] And clandestine meetings and longing stares

[00:54.92] It's born from just one single glance

[00:59.67] But it dies and it dies and it dies

[01:03.18] A million little times

[01:13.43] Leave the perfume on the shelf

[01:17.92] That you picked out just for him

[01:22.17] So you leave no trace behind

[01:25.67] Like you don’t even exist

[01:28.93] Take the words for what they are

[01:32.67] A dwindling, mercurial high

[01:37.17] A drug that only worked

[01:40.42] The first few hundred times

[01:43.93] And that's the thing about illicit affairs

[01:47.18] And clandestine meetings and stolen stares

[01:51.43] They show their truth one single time

[01:55.42] But they lie and they lie and they lie

[01:58.93] A billion little times

[02:06.93] And you wanna scream

[02:08.17] Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"

[02:11.92] Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

[02:15.68] You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else

[02:23.67] Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"

[02:27.68] Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

[02:31.92] You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

[02:39.92] And you know damn well

[02:42.93] For you, I would ruin myself

[02:46.67] A million little times
