Affairs

She's gone out of her way
to give him a place in time.
He's holding on with a grip of a titan
and she has made up her mind.

She's gone, it's a shame
he couldn't convince her to stay.
I called your name in a crowd full of strangers.
I saw you look my way.

The look in your eyes has me tongue-tied
and I try to move you but I'm stuck to the ground.
I didn't think to leave you hanging around.
I didn't think that I was getting you down.

[CHORUS]
We tried to get ourselves together.
We built a fire; we just couldn't handle the flames.
We spent the night in search of something better.
We cry but that's the way to handle affairs.
But that the way to handle affairs.

Take me back in your arms,
I'm dying to feel your embrace.
He's holding on by the tips of his fingers.
She says she needs more space.
Take me back to the days when
we swore the violets were blue.
My mind is racing and my heart's on fire.
She's loving somebody new.
