Skin On My Skin

I was consulting with clouds

And swimming in circles

Trying to find direction

Like a 3-legged turtle

Headed nowhere

In stagnant motion

Though I fought hard

To pull myself from the tide

The cold gray ocean

Kept its grasp on my mind

Thinking slower

Sinking lower

Until you said to

Put your skin on my skin

So we can begin

To shake off the shame of sadness

Let's cast off the covers and chase off the numbness we let in

'Til we let in some feeling

I was staring through tunnels

Until I discovered

Another soul who recognized

My aimless wonder

I was stunned

To find I'm not the only one

Then you said to

Put your skin on my skin

So we can begin

To shake off the shame of sadness

Let's cast off the covers and chase off the numbness we let in

'Til we let in some feeling

Put your skin on my skin

So we can begin

To shake off the shame of sadness

Let's cast off the covers and chase off the numbness we let in

'Til we let in some feeling
