Bare Wire to Skin (versie 2)

Verse 1

Silver on the windowpane

Your hand slips through my collarbone

Bare wire humming in the dark

Copper on your skin so fine

The streetlight cuts a silver line

Down across your collar and spine

Finger tracing where it falls

Against the pulse of your heartbeat, after all

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing up my neck?

Is that wire running back

To where we used to be?

Or is it something new?

Chorus

Bare wire to skin

Cut through what I've lost inside

Bare wire to skin

You're not where the light divides

I don't know how this starts again

But if you touch me here, I'll hold on till the end

Verse 2

Your breath on the back of my neck

Is that the same old spark?

Rustling paper in your pocket

Something new

Amber sunset bleeding into blue

Every nerve is asking for the truth

Fingers moving without a sound

Where did we draw this line so fine?

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing up my neck?

Is that wire running back

To where we used to be?

Or is it something new?

Chorus

Bare wire to skin

Cut through what I've lost inside

Bare wire to skin

You're not where the light divides

I don't know how this starts again

But if you touch me here, I'll hold on till the end

Bridge

Maybe this is the start

Not of something old

But of something new and cold

Where do we go from here?

If it's just a spark, let it burn

Bare wire to skin

Bare wire to skin

Chorus

Bare wire to skin

Cut through what I've lost inside

Bare wire to skin

You're not where the light divides

I don't know how this starts again

But if you touch me here, I'll hold on till the end
