Skin and Dawnlight lyrics
Verse
Sweat cools slow along your collarbone
Door swings open, morning air creeps thin
Candle wax pools soft against the sill
Goosebumps rise before the light gets in
Pre-Chorus
We feel the shift before we see it come
We hold the heat a little longer still
Nobody's reaching for the blanket yet
We let the cold find where it will
Chorus
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Verse
Curtain lifts and falls against the frame
Your shoulder blade still damp from the low end bass
Ice cube shrinks inside the glass we left
Cold air traces where your fingers laced
Pre-Chorus
We feel the shift before we see it come
We hold the heat a little longer still
Nobody's reaching for the blanket yet
We let the cold find where it will
Chorus
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Bridge
Ten more seconds, then the light wins
Skin keeps score of the night we're in
Warmth goes quiet, cool creeps through
This is the last edge of the room
Chorus
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
Skin remembers the dawnlight
