Skin Remembers the Rest (version 2)

Verse

Doorbells ringing on the fifth floor hall

Your mom's voice calling out before we fall

You grab my wrist and pull me through the door

We're seventeen on a Friday night for sure

Kicked in my front door, sneakers left behind

Chasing every ending like it was a crime

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how you learned to drive at three a.m.

Tell me why we never went to church again

Say the words out loud, don't just mouth them slow

I want the full confession, nothing held back, no

Chorus

Skin remembers the rest of what your lips already say

Every whispered secret I already know the way

You don't need a reason, you just let it go free

Skin remembers the rest of me and only me

Verse 2

Trunk lid popping up like a miracle sign

Radio tuned to static, we were out of time

Chasing that feeling 'fore the light comes up

Now your hair's still tangled from my bedroom cup

Fingers tracing circles where the shadows play

Summer got a way of disappearing fast this way

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how you learned to drive at three a.m.

Tell me why we never went to church again

Say the words out loud, don't just mouth them slow

I want the full confession, nothing held back, no

Chorus

Skin remembers the rest of what your lips already say

Every whispered secret I already know the way

You don't need a reason, you just let it go free

Skin remembers the rest of me and only me

Bridge

Maybe that's the point — we never had a name for it

Just this pull so strong it don't need a witness

So here it is now — say it one last time

Let your palm match my heartbeat, no more lying

Chorus

Skin remembers the rest of what your lips already say

Every whispered secret I already know the way

You don't need a reason, you just let it go free

Skin remembers the rest of me and only me
