Skin on fire lyrics
Verse
Neon burning on your collarbone
Bounce don dey soft, but you no slow down
Palm wine sweet for the taste of the night
Your waist dey answer to the low drum sound
I see the fire in your eyes as small talk fade
Two-step rhythm turning every step into a wave
Nobody's counting how long we go dey stay
Just the way your hand finds mine at the start of the sway
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising, low and slow?
Something in my chest say let it go
Every pulse in the room agree with me
This is where I lose myself completely
Chorus
Skin on fire from the floor to your neck
Body moving like we ain't got a clock to check
Move for the sake of the move, no more excuses tonight
Skin on fire till the morning light
Verse
Bare feet shifting through the spilled-out wine
Your shoulder blade brushing past my chest line
Log drum knocking every single doubt away
Nobody's leaving till we find what this night say
Sweat and glitter on your collar, shine like gold
Every stranger in the circle start to fold into you
You turn so fast I lose myself for a beat
That's when I know this rhythm dey call me back to thee
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising, low and slow?
Something in my chest say let it go
Every pulse in the room agree with me
This is where I lose myself completely
Chorus
Skin on fire from the floor to your neck
Body moving like we ain't got a clock to check
Move for the sake of the move, no more excuses tonight
Skin on fire till the morning light
Bridge
Let the bassline pull us under deeper now
Every single fear I ever know dey drown below
This is my body saying yes to you tonight
No more walls left standing when we hit this height
Chorus
Skin on fire from the floor to your neck
Body moving like we ain't got a clock to check
Move for the sake of the move, no more excuses tonight
Skin on fire till the morning light
