Skin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I know, you don't know the reason
And it's cold, a sign of the season
Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, 'til we hit the ceiling


[Chorus]
Yeah, well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else

I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

[Verse 2]
Well it's gone and it's not returning
And your clothes and pictures are burning

Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, 'til we hit the ceiling

[Chorus]
Yeah, well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else

I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself
Yeah
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Yeah, well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else

I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine anyone else
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else

I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
