Beyond The Pale

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
