Skin Like Salt Underneath the Blue (Version 2) 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
