Cold War Kids
Beyond the Pale
[Verse 1]
How many nights have I been away?
These hotel walls all look the same
I'm numb from all this traveling
Meanwhile, your life is happening

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'll be yours beyond the pale
There's temptation all around me
And I should look away
And I'll be yours, it's not a sin
Just a simple conversation
It don't mean anything

[Chorus]
In the dark, and you're lighting me up
With a spark, and I said too many secrets
Now I'm lost, but I don't wanna fall for you
'Cause I've already got somebody
Somebody waiting at home

[Verse 2]
Fix up, look sharp, have another drink
Missed calls, thin walls, are they listening?
Who's in the background whispering?
Some new friends I'll never see again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'll be yours beyond the pale
There's temptation all around me
But I stay anyways
And I'll be yours, it's not a sin
I am starving for emotion
That seems so innocent

[Chorus]
In the dark, and you're lighting me up
With a spark, and I said too many secrets
Now I'm lost, but I don't wanna fall for you
'Cause I've already got somebody
Somebody waiting at home

[Bridge]
When it starts, learned a lesson in trust
We're apart, and I'm caught up in the moment
With a stranger 'cause I'm playing with fire, and baby
I've already got somebody
Somebody who loves me more
Somebody who loves me more
Somebody who loves me more, mmm
'Cause I've already got somebody
Somebody waiting at home
[Outro]
Beyond the pale
And I'll be yours beyond the pale
I'll be yours beyond the pale
'Cause I've already got somebody
Somebody waiting at home
