Ah (affected) 00:00
00:02
Chewing gum, I know 00:06
Don't have the sour taste that's in my throat 00:09
But the voice in my head says 00:13
"Do you have the stones?" 00:15
When you get close enough 00:20
I'll let down my braids and you'll climb up 00:23
In my room, we can do anything you want 00:26
Everyone that I've slept with 00:32
All the pairs of hands, I'm reckless 00:36
If I'm fine without it, why can't I stop? 00:40
Everything I want speeding up my pulse 00:46
I don't sleep, don't dream at all 00:52
Give 'em nothing personal 00:55
So I'm not affected 00:59
I've been the ice, I've been the flame 01:02
I've been the prize, the ball, the chain 01:05
I've been the dice, the magic eight 01:08
So I'm not affected 01:13
I've been the siren, been the saint 01:15
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain 01:19
I've been up on the pedestal 01:22
But tonight I just wanna fall 01:26
01:30
Tonight I just wanna fall 01:33
01:37
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall 01:39
Mirror, mirror, on his shirt 01:42
I see a hot mess in an antique skirt 01:45
But the voice in my head says 01:48
"Don't let him leave alone" 01:51
I become her again (ah, ah, ah, ah) 01:56
Visions of a teenage innocence (ah, ah, ah, ah) 01:59
How'd I shift shape like that? 02:04
Everyone that I've slept with 02:08
All the metal that I've messaged 02:12
If I'm fine without it 02:16
Why can't I stop? 02:19
Everything I want speeding up my pulse 02:22
I don't sleep, don't dream at all 02:27
Give 'em nothing personal 02:31
So I'm not affected 02:35
I've been the ice, I've been the flame 02:38
I've been the prize, the ball, the chain 02:41
I've been the dice, the magic eight 02:44
So I'm not affected 02:49
I've been the siren, been the saint (ah, she's a) 02:51
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain (shapeshifter) 02:55
I've been up on the pedestal 02:58
But tonight I just wanna fall 03:02
03:06
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall 03:09
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall 03:15
I'll kick you out and pull you in 03:19
Swear that you were just a friend 03:22
And when it's all over again 03:26
Say, "I'm not affected" 03:30
I'll kick you out and pull you in (ah, she's a) 03:32
You said you were just a friend (shapeshifter) 03:36
And when it's all over again (ah-ah) 03:39
Say, "I'm not affected" (ah-ah) 03:44
Ah 03:49
Oh-ah-ah 03:52
Ah-ah 03:55
No, I'm not affected 03:58
But tonight, I just wanna fall (I'm not affected) 04:03

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
Ah (affected)
...
Chewing gum, I know
Don't have the sour taste that's in my throat
But the voice in my head says
"Do you have the stones?"
When you get close enough
I'll let down my braids and you'll climb up
In my room, we can do anything you want
Everyone that I've slept with
All the pairs of hands, I'm reckless
If I'm fine without it, why can't I stop?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
I don't sleep, don't dream at all
Give 'em nothing personal
So I'm not affected
I've been the ice, I've been the flame
I've been the prize, the ball, the chain
I've been the dice, the magic eight
So I'm not affected
I've been the siren, been the saint
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain
I've been up on the pedestal
But tonight I just wanna fall
...
Tonight I just wanna fall
...
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
Mirror, mirror, on his shirt
I see a hot mess in an antique skirt
But the voice in my head says
"Don't let him leave alone"
I become her again (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Visions of a teenage innocence (ah, ah, ah, ah)
How'd I shift shape like that?
Everyone that I've slept with
All the metal that I've messaged
If I'm fine without it
Why can't I stop?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
I don't sleep, don't dream at all
Give 'em nothing personal
So I'm not affected
I've been the ice, I've been the flame
I've been the prize, the ball, the chain
I've been the dice, the magic eight
So I'm not affected
I've been the siren, been the saint (ah, she's a)
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain (shapeshifter)
I've been up on the pedestal
But tonight I just wanna fall
...
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
I'll kick you out and pull you in
Swear that you were just a friend
And when it's all over again
Say, "I'm not affected"
I'll kick you out and pull you in (ah, she's a)
You said you were just a friend (shapeshifter)
And when it's all over again (ah-ah)
Say, "I'm not affected" (ah-ah)
Ah
Oh-ah-ah
Ah-ah
No, I'm not affected
But tonight, I just wanna fall (I'm not affected)
