Skin on Wire (version 2)

Verse

Static hums beneath the skin

City lights begin to thin

Ten thousand hands find one same pulse

Nothing left but this full rush

Fingers trace the neon wire

Current runs from my heart to yours

The floor gives up its weight and tire

We're the signal that it's never stored

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climb the spine?

Somewhere past the borrowed time

Is this the start or just a spark?

Does it matter who we are?

Chorus

Skin on wire, hand to hand

Static love in an open land

We're the current that won't fade

Skin on wire, don't let go

Let it burn till the morning breaks

Never let this spark decay

Verse

Palm to palm where the bassline hums

Salt and smoke become perfume

No one's asking what we've been through

Just this glow between us two

The whole block lights up at once

Strangers turning into one voice

We don't need a reason why

Just the wire that won't subside

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climb the spine?

Somewhere past the borrowed time

Is this the start or just a spark?

Does it matter who we are?

Chorus

Skin on wire, hand to hand

Static love in an open land

We're the current that won't fade

Skin on wire, don't let go

Let it burn till the morning breaks

Never let this spark decay

Bridge

No name for what we carry

Just a pulse and a borrowed sky

Let the static take us over

This is how we learn to fly

The city holds its breath in time

Every heartbeat beats as mine

Somewhere the wire turns to flame

And I don't want it named or tamed

Chorus

Skin on wire, hand to hand

Static love in an open land

We're the current that won't fade

Skin on wire, don't let go

Let it burn till the morning breaks

Never let this spark decay
