Skin and Stone (version 2)

Verse

Sun cuts the fog on the wet glass road

Your fingers slipping through mine like water

We chase a light we know we can't hold on to

But I'm smiling loud because you're right behind me

Pre-Chorus

Can we keep our hands up if this all falls down?

Is the sky just a little less wide without your shadow?

No net, no ground underneath

Just your eyes and I against the breaking light

Chorus

We'll be skin on skin and stone in the dark

Landing soft but landing hard

No safety net where we're meant to fall

Only the sound of our colliding hearts

Verse

Falling slow like a leaf through amber air

Your voice cuts the wind, steady as it can be

Bare feet on the hood that's still warm from your chair

Nothing left but the way you look at me

Pre-Chorus

Can we keep our hands up if this all falls down?

Is the sky just a little less wide without your shadow?

No net, no ground underneath

Just your eyes and I against the breaking light

Chorus

We'll be skin on skin and stone in the dark

Landing soft but landing hard

No safety net where we're meant to fall

Only the sound of our colliding hearts

Bridge

Maybe that's what falling really means

Not hitting the floor, but finding your hands in mine

Let gravity teach us how to bend

Instead of breaking like it always seemed

Chorus

We'll be skin on skin and stone in the dark

Landing soft but landing hard

No safety net where we're meant to fall

Only the sound of our colliding hearts
