All My Affection

Close the door, don't come in
Did the nerves break the skin?
Is there a path that's golder than golden
Where will I see you whole again?

I'm a dog (oh), I'm a doormat
While the world, it falls behind
Crowded home (oh), full of no one
I wasted all my time I owned

So take everything left of me
Anything that you might want
All my affection is all I have to lose
Wave me in from off the street
Shelter me under your love
All I can do is stay close to you

Making friends with tears that fall short
When the dull sounds come to life
Circlin' 'round your temples
In the drywall of your mind

Did you go? Did I stay?
Watchin' all sensation float away
You and me, face to face
God, I hope this never ends

So take everything left of me
Anything that you might want
All my affection is all I have to lose
Wave me in from off the street
Shelter me under your love
All I can do to stay close to you

All my affection, it'll always be there
Do you still need it? Can you even feel it?
All my affection, it'll always be there
It lasts forever

All my affection, take if you need it
Makes you feel better, I'm never leaving
All my affection, never gets depleted
Always, forever
