Like the image in the mirror over your shoulder as you stare
See a shadow of painted lust, turn away, she won't be there
Warm sheets and empty champagne,
Through the hotel drapes streams daylight
Burning the candle at both ends,
Can what feels so good turn out right

Are you caught off guard?
Is this more than you wanted?
It's not just an affair,
This love has got you haunted

As the feeling of desire was only instinct to begin with
So the yearning yields to love, you can't turn away from it
And the parting at the doorway, is innocence and childlike love
Needing and wanting never to leave,
Exactly what our dreams are made of

Are you caught off guard?
Is this more than you wanted?
It's not just an affair,
This love has got you haunted
