Skin Lyrics & Tabs by Chris Stamey
Skin
guitar chords lyrics
I slip out of my skin
That’s how it begins
And drift across the room into you
You look a bit surprised
As you realize
Underneath the fluorescent hue
But you quickly let me in
Before the light can bend
Before the others realize what we do
I look like I’m asleep
But I’m just incomplete
I watch myself the way that you do
And this is how it feels to be you
Sensation of your skin
The way you ankles bend
And this is how it feels to be you
Sensation of your skin
The way you ankles bend
The way you hear a sigh across the room
The taste inside your mouth
As you breathe in and out
Your eyes the sunlight scattering the gloom
And this is how it feels to be you
This is how it feels to be you
Our fingers move like mice
We see everything twice
We see it once as me and once as you
And where we overlap
As we slowly adapt
Is hard to ascertain or review
Now I’m back inside myself
And you are someone else
And everything’s the same and yet brand new
If we had only known
We were not skin and bone
But more like vapor without residue
And this is how it feels to be you
This is how it feels to be you
This is how it feels to be you…
This is how it feels to be you
