Write This Down - Cheap Affairs

Dirty hotel laundry rooms Old apartments, basic views We are the kings, we are the kings Never sleep and barely eat We can hardly catch a dream But it's better than that 9 to 5 No more cheap affairs No more sideways stares When I tell you where I've been last night No more cryptic notes Of when I'll be home You know you're better off alone I hate to tell you this Over the phone There was Portland and Columbus That's twice in a year Baby I'm a mess and you know I'm out of control I'm feeling crazy when I'm all alone The kind of crazy that makes you start shaking Saying things that you'd never say Maybe I thought we had a shot We'd get lost and burn up all of the maps And watch the world fall away Seven hundred "I owe you"s Holidays and birthdays too I've missed them all, I've missed them all Failed attempts at rendezvous This is just a dying cause But we talked it out and made a truce No more cheap affairs No more sideways stares When I tell you where I've been last night No more cryptic notes Of when I'll be home You know you're better off alone I hate to tell you this Over the phone There was Portland and Columbus That's twice in a year Baby I'm a mess and you know I'm out of control I'm feeling crazy when I'm all alone The kind of crazy that makes you start shaking Saying things that you'd never say Maybe I thought we had a shot We'd get lost and burn up all of the maps And watch the world fall away Judging by the look on your face You don't get it Like every word I said was abandoned grace Staring at me like you're amazed My bad habits are holding me up and away from you Baby I'm a mess and you know I'm out of control I'm feeling crazy when I'm all alone The kind of crazy that makes you start shaking Saying things that you'd never say Maybe I thought we had a shot We'd get lost and burn up all of the maps And watch the world fall away Edge
