Skin on the Speaker Wire

Verse

Last bus home stopped a block away

Your hand still buzzing from the bassline

You ripped my jacket on the second song

Said I'm worth the stitches

Streetlights blink like they're counting us down

My name in your mouth like it's a prayer you found

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the wire humming under our skin

Is this what falling feels like from the start

Tell me how you do this to a boy so blind

I was running and now I'm walking into light

Chorus

You're skin on the speaker wire, burning through my chest

Every note your mouth is playing that's enough for me

I'm not scared of falling when it feels like home

You're the current that's waking up what's been asleep inside me

Verse 2

Your mom left a sweater folded on the couch

Said it's mine now anyway I take it

My mom says call, but your number's still my hands

Counting every heartbeat where you are and where I am

The bus stop shelter's covered in our names

Yours in silver, mine in permanent ink

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the wire humming under our skin

Is this what falling feels like from the start

Tell me how you do this to a boy so blind

I was running and now I'm walking into light

Chorus

You're skin on the speaker wire, burning through my chest

Every note your mouth is playing that's enough for me

I'm not scared of falling when it feels like home

You're the current that's waking up what's been asleep inside me

Bridge

Maybe I was built for losing anyway

Maybe this scar's gonna be a door some day

You don't gotta save me, you just gotta stay

Close enough to feel my pulse go your way

Chorus

You're skin on the speaker wire, burning through my chest

Every note your mouth is playing that's enough for me

I'm not scared of falling when it feels like home

You're the current that's waking up what's been asleep inside me
