The Copper Skin Forgets
Verse
Coin in the palm
Passed hand to hand
Face going soft
Where the thumbs land
Green at the edge
Where the air got in
I know the date
I can't read it again
Pre-Chorus
Tell me the year
Tell me the mint
Tell me who's pressed
Into the dent
Chorus
The copper skin forgets
The copper skin forgets
I know the weight
I know it's set
The copper skin forgets
Verse
Rubbed on the counter
Rubbed in the drawer
Every hand that held it
Wanted more
I know the shine
I know it's thin
I know what's under
Isn't copper skin
Pre-Chorus
Tell me the year
Tell me the mint
Tell me who's pressed
Into the dent
Chorus
The copper skin forgets
The copper skin forgets
I know the weight
I know it's set
The copper skin forgets
Bridge
Not the metal
Not the mold
What rubs off
When it's sold
Not the face
Not the ridge
What stays
Under the bridge of the thumb
Chorus
The copper skin forgets
The copper skin forgets
I know the weight
I know it's set
The copper skin forgets
