Beyond the Pale Songtext
von Cold War Kids

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

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

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


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

And I'll be yours, beyond the pale
There's temptation all around me
But I stay anyway
I′ll be yours, it′s not a sin
I am starving for emotion
That seems so innocent

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


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

'Cause I′ve already got somebody
Somebody waiting at home, 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
