Skin to Skin

歌詞

[Verse 1] Your coat on the chair, rain drying by the door You ask if I’m alright, then ask me nothing more A quiet little kindness, your hand against my sleeve The whole room settles down; I finally start to breathe [Pre-Chorus] No grand confession, no words to get just right Just let the hush between us hold us for tonight [Chorus] Skin to skin, let the day fall away Your heartbeat steady where my worries used to stay Skin to skin, no need to pretend I can be soft with you, and still be myself again [Verse 2] The kettle clicks off, two cups beside the sink You trace a small circle while I gather what I think I tell you what I’m scared of, the parts I usually hide You don’t rush to fix me; you just stay here by my side [Pre-Chorus] No perfect answer, no promise carved in stone Just this little space where I don’t feel alone [Chorus] Skin to skin, let the day fall away Your heartbeat steady where my worries used to stay Skin to skin, no need to pretend I can be soft with you, and still be myself again [Bridge] When morning finds the dishes and the curtains turning gold I’ll remember how your quiet made the room feel whole Not a way to disappear, not a place to lose my name Just a hand that asks permission, and a love that does the same [Final Chorus] Skin to skin, let the day fall away Your heartbeat steady where my worries used to stay Skin to skin, and I can let you in I can be soft with you, and still be myself again [Outro] Still myself again Right here, skin to skin
