Skin Like Salt Underneath the Blue lyrics

Verse

Dust on my ankles where the heat got in

Salt from the road and a water bottle skin

Every step feels like I'm walking barefoot through fire

Something low under my ribs just climbing higher

Bare shoulders catching amber light

Neon signs bleeding into orange sky

My shadow's running fast but I ain't leaving yet

Tonight we burning till the whole block forgets to sleep

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when you're already tired

You still got this kind of energy, why you lie?

We done counted down and the night still ain't gone

Something deeper pulling us back home

Chorus

Skin like salt underneath the blue sky

Moving so fast but we don't wanna fly yet

This is it right here, before we go

Let's burn it all and watch ourselves glow

Skin like salt underneath the blue sky

Verse 2

Shirt stuck close to my chest where the bassline lived

Salt on my lips from cheering every drop we give

Your hand found mine in a crowd that never sleeps

We dancing on fire but this ain't how it ends

Every window turning gold then bronze and black

Nobody's leaving till the stars come back

You spin like you're calling down the light itself

Tonight we burning, tonight we feel it all

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when you're already tired

You still got this kind of energy, why you lie?

We done counted down and the night still ain't gone

Something deeper pulling us back home

Chorus

Skin like salt underneath the blue sky

Moving so fast but we don't wanna fly yet

This is it right here, before we go

Let's burn it all and watch ourselves glow

Skin like salt underneath the blue sky

Bridge

Maybe slow comes later, maybe we deserve this now

Every ache just salt we carry to the crowd

Don't ask me how long 'cause time stopped at the door

Just hold my hand through the fire one more

Chorus

Skin like salt underneath the blue sky

Moving so fast but we don't wanna fly yet

This is it right here, before we go

Let's burn it all and watch ourselves glow

Skin like salt underneath the blue sky
