And everything you do

I wrote a song for you

Your skin

Oh yeah your skin and bones

You know you know I love you so

I swam across

Oh what a thing to do

'Cause you were all yellow
The chorus repeats again, with the line emphasizing that the listener has inspired the singer's life with warmth and positivity.

I drew a line

I drew a line for you

For you I'd bleed myself dry
