Skin and Bone 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Fourteen summers running through the same old gate

Worn out flip flops and a worn-out name

I learned how to fish from you under starlight

And how to keep my heart still, even when it's hard to fight

You'd say 'we'll make our own way', but I'm not sure now

If that was hope or just a way of letting go

Your hands would leave fingerprints on my skin like glue

I wish I knew what that meant back then

Pre-Chorus

Do you still hear the same old creekbed hum?

Does it carry you all the way back to me, too?

Chorus – both vocal

Take your time, take your time, let these bones settle down

In the dark where shadows are and nothing's found

It's okay to move slow when everything feels wrong

We're skin and bone, but we're never gone

Take your time, take your time, let this old light bleed through

I still see it in your eyes even though we're far apart from you

We were just kids on the edge of a nameless blue

But somehow I knew I'd be here waiting for you

Verse 2 – female vocal

Your old truck's parked where the driveway used to start

Same creaky floorboards, same two hearts that would leave and return

I've been chasing sunsets on my own since then

Learning how to breathe when every breath feels like a lie again

But sometimes at midnight when the whole world is still

I'll turn up the volume on some old forgotten thrill

And I swear for one second your hand finds its way through time

Right back where we used to be, skin to skin, and it's mine

Pre-Chorus

Do you still hear the same old creekbed hum?

Does it carry you all the way back to me, too?

Chorus – both vocal

Take your time, take your time, let these bones settle down

In the dark where shadows are and nothing's found

It's okay to move slow when everything feels wrong

We're skin and bone, but we're never gone

Take your time, take your time, let this old light bleed through

I still see it in your eyes even though we're far apart from you

We were just kids on the edge of a nameless blue

But somehow I knew I'd be here waiting for you

Bridge – both vocal

If I could turn back time, I wouldn't ask you to stay

I was wrong when I thought this would last past May

It's not about where we end up or what road we take

It's just that a piece of me has stayed right here, waiting for your sake

Chorus – both vocal

Take your time, take your time, let these bones settle down

In the dark where shadows are and nothing's found

It's okay to move slow when everything feels wrong

We're skin and bone, but we're never gone

Take your time, take your time, let this old light bleed through

I still see it in your eyes even though we're far apart from you

We were just kids on the edge of a nameless blue

But somehow I knew I'd be here waiting for you
