Skin
Danny Knutelsky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling
Why you so scared?
Hold me down
Where I feel
Grounded by your eyes
They dig deeper into mine
Deeper
Deeper

Fly into my skin alive
Tell me that you need me
I'm falling
I'm falling

Tell me that you need my skin
Show me that you love me




Oh I give
I give
