Skin and Steel lyrics
Verse
Copper wire against your collarbone
Sunlight catching where the shadow's gone
You move through a crowd like it wasn't there
I watch your feet until they start to share
Pre-Chorus
Tell me why I feel it in my chest
This isn't just music, this is our best
Every step you take makes time slow down
Nothing else matters, only the sound
Chorus
Oh we move like metal and we glow
Skin against steel where the rhythm goes
We dance until sunrise climbs the wall
Moving together, one heart after all
Iron wire and your pulse so bright
We burn like fire through a thousand nights
This is how it feels to lose control
Metal heartbeat on the open road
Verse 2
Your hand brushes mine when the drum hits hard
Sweat on copper where our palms start
You pull me close until we're almost one
Bass line humming deep beneath the sun
Your breath against my collarbone now
Every step we take is breaking through
Pre-Chorus
Tell me why I feel it in my chest
This isn't just music, this is our best
Every step you take makes time slow down
Nothing else matters, only the sound
Chorus
Oh we move like metal and we glow
Skin against steel where the rhythm goes
We dance until sunrise climbs the wall
Moving together, one heart after all
Iron wire and your pulse so bright
We burn like fire through a thousand nights
This is how it feels to lose control
Metal heartbeat on the open road
Bridge
Let the music tear us wide awake
One heartbeat on the city's dark face
No more walls between where you are now
Only skin and steel and the drum in the crowd
We don't need a name or a time or place
This is how we move through space
Chorus
Oh we move like metal and we glow
Skin against steel where the rhythm goes
We dance until sunrise climbs the wall
Moving together, one heart after all
Iron wire and your pulse so bright
We burn like fire through a thousand nights
This is how it feels to lose control
Metal heartbeat on the open road
