Skin

Lyrics

While you were asleep
I took a waterproof pen
And wrote a hidden note
Onto your mellow skin
Saying

I was here,
I have touched these limbs
And for an instant
This body was all mine

But as skin is chafed
And skin is shed
The letters fade away
I won't have left a single mark on you
But it's ok as long as I know

I was here,
I have touched these limbs
And for an instant
I wished you were mine

And even if there's nothing else
I could've left behind
I hope that you at leastwise bear
My traces in your mind
(As I bear yours on mine)

I know I'll never know
The feelings you didn't show
and what you hide below
your beautiful shell

As I bear yours on mine,
I bear yours on mine,
I bear yours on mine
