Skin

(album: Laundry Pile - 2023)

I like your skin on Sunday morning
After you've had five drinks at the bar
And I like your skin when it's hot in the summer
Reading a book by yourself at the park

And I like your skin when you're getting goosebumps
Whispering things, that you wanna hear
I like your skin when it's freezing cold
Let me kiss you at midnight every New Year

But it don't mean nothing
When it's only skin deep
I'm promising everything
But what can I keep?

If you want the real thing
You're tired of acting
Like we're living a lie

I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss another day
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted, when I started

You're asking did the feeling fade?
What happens when you hear my name?
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted, when I started

You ask me what might have changed
I want skin in the game

I like your skin but you don't wanna hear it
Rolling your eyes when my heart's on my sleeve
And I'll love your skin when we're old and dancing
Just give me a look when you're ready to leave

It ain't worth discussing if it can't get deep
If it feels like I'm running then it all gets cheap

You want the real thing
You're tired of acting
Can I see you tonight?

I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss another day
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted, when I started

You're asking did the feeling fade?
What happens when you hear my name?
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted, when I started

Ask me what might have changed
I want skin in the game

I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss another day
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted, when I started

You're asking did the feeling fade?
What happens when you hear my name?
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted, when I started

Ask me what might have changed
I want skin in the game
