Second Skin 03:51
I miss the girl I knew She’d put the moon in her pocket Bet she’d stare at the waves and swear she could stop it but I can’t leave the house I miss the girl I was I wonder what she’s doing Bet she’s buried and burned Cause I haven’t heard a word from her in months now I’ll wear your jacket like a second skin I’ll picture cold mornings in your kitchen Leave in the morning Come back burned and bitten Go walk for hours ‘Til the sun is hidden Red sky in the morning My shepherd’s warning Red sky in the morning My shepherd’s warning, warning, War I’ll wear your jacket like a second skin I’ll picture cold mornings sitting in your kitchen I keep falling I keep falling I’ll wear your jacket like a second skin I’ll wear your jacket like a second skin He loves the girl I was Picks up the moon when she drops it Tell her swim through the waves there’s no need to stop it Don’t be afraid now

How do I say this I think I was wrong Looking back now It could’ve been love I’ve been up sleeping Dreaming of you I wake up cold in the morning Like what the fuck did I do Darling please stand back now I’m about to explode Baby keep your distance You don’t want to know Oh here we go Someone you’ll never really know Oh I’m up late sleeping with your ghost Darling I’m sorry I strung you along But look how it all worked out You got your own damn song I’ve been up sleeping With your ghost every night I wake up cold in the morning With no arms holding me tight Darling please stand back now I’m about to explode Baby keep your distance You don’t want to know Oh here we go Someone you’ll never really know Oh I’m up late sleeping with your ghost I’ll break your heart before you can break mine (I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart) I’ll break your heart before you can break mine (I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart) Here we, here we, here we go Here we, here we, here we go Here we, here we, here we go Here we, here we, here we go Oh (I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart) Oh (I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart) Oh here we go Someone you’ll never really know Oh I’m up late sleeping with your ghost I’ll break your heart before you can break mine (I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart) I’ll break your heart before you can break mine (I’ll break your heart, I’ll break your heart) I’ll break your heart I’ll break your heart I’ll break your heart I’ll break your heart I’ll break your heart I’ll break your heart

Oh she had so much power In the palm of her hand She led me up Patrick’s hill Said let’s leave the liars land All those old time singers Care for nothing but poetry She said darling when you make it Will you sing one for me And you know that you made me feel like man Like a man Like a man Like a man Like a man So she’ll hibernate in winter I’ll smile again in June I’ll give up smoking cigarettes Start praying to the moon Oh Pulling dusty tarot cards Begging her to change Out of everyone In the world I beg you stay the same You know that you made me feel like a man Like a man Like a man  Like a man

Take me down , You shattered all the glasses In the bar in our home town, Cut open my head, They would have done it 50 years ago, For wanting you in my bed. Well I picked the glass From my skin Ill talk to god and she say well you Found yourself a lovely sin Take me back She speaks in strawberry scented sentences Oh my god you should hear her laugh Because I’ve known you since fake ids Camping in fields Bruises on your knees Ya All the time I still miss your laugh I want you back But if we take the glass Put it back to sand Put it in an hour glass See how much time we have How much time we have Take me down, You’d rather lie about me Then not make your mother proud And cut Open my chest Oh dance on my heart Like you did to all the rest Take me back She speaks in strawberry scented sentences Oh my god you should hear her laugh Because I’ve known you since fake ids Camping in fields Bruises on your knees Ya All the time I still miss your laugh I want you back But if we take the glass Put it back to sand Put it in an hour glass See how much time we have How much time we have Take me back She speaks in strawberry scented sentences Oh my god you should hear her laugh
