Skin and Current 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1

Warm water off my skin where your hands have been

Salt air turning gold behind the palms of men

You keep me moving, slow and free tonight

Candles in a bottle, amber floating on the tide

I lose myself in this and you don't ask why

We're not counting stars up there, we count how many rounds of wine

Your fingers tracing lines I never knew were mine

Pre-Chorus

You take my hand, pull me in past what we know

This water's full of secrets that only the tide can show

I let go with every stroke until you say so...

Chorus

Skin and current moving like one soul in the flow

No direction left to give but where your hands decide to go

Water on my skin, warm as candlelight on stone

You're the reason I don't want this night to turn back home

Verse 2

Your fingers find the small of my back beneath a thousand lights

Every wave you touch me with is a whole new kind of right

Bare feet sinking into sand where all our worries sleep

No tomorrow coming for us in this water, just keep it slow and deep

Gulls fly overhead as low as we can go

Salt on your collarbone shining like diamonds in the glow

Every drop that falls off you lands exactly on my skin

This is how I learn to let the world move without a care within

Pre-Chorus

You take my hand, pull me in past what we know

This water's full of secrets that only the tide can show

I let go with every stroke until you say so...

Chorus

Skin and current moving like one soul in the flow

No direction left to give but where your hands decide to go

Water on my skin, warm as candlelight on stone

You're the reason I don't want this night to turn back home

Bridge

Not where we started, not where we're supposed to be

This is where we should stay until you say goodbye

Let's stay right here in this water, hold it like a spell

Don't let me out yet, keep me underwater till I'm gone

Chorus

Skin and current moving like one soul in the flow

No direction left to give but where your hands decide to go

Water on my skin, warm as candlelight on stone

You're the reason I don't want this night to turn back home
