Skin
Fast and Furious Five Soundtrack Lyrics

She said, 'can't you leave the light on?
She asks for the light to be left on as she is not thinking clearly.

I'm not thinking very straight
She is not thinking clearly.

And if I could, I would take you home with me
She wishes to take the person home to improve her mood.

Just to chase the blues away
She wants the person to make her feel better.

Got a bed for you to die on
She has a bed for the person to sleep in.

And a floor to lose your way
She has a floor for the person to lose themselves on, possibly in a drunken state.

I know I should, I should snap it out of you
She acknowledges that she should snap out of her current state of mind.

But I'm a sucker for a saint
She is attracted to people who are good and righteous.

Shine a light on all you know
The person should reveal everything they know.

Take a seat and watch it glow
Sit down and watch the person's revelations.

It's a long night for leaving it all on show
The night will be long due to revealing everything.

Did I say too much?
She is questioning if she revealed too much information.

Did I go for broke and leave you without a friend?
She wonders if she went too far and lost a friend as a result.

Did I pull the strings?
She is questioning if she was in control and manipulated the situation.

Did I let you in?
She is questioning if she allowed the person into her life.

Did I fail to play pretend?
She is asking if she failed to fake her emotions or actions.

Now you're taking shots at building blocks
The person is taking risks with their foundation.

And breathing in the lines you should've dropped
They are accepting things they should avoid.

But it's enough
They feel it's satisfying regardless of the risks taken.

Was never what I really want
She realizes what she thought she wanted was not actually what she craves.

You've got English skin and British bones
The person has English and British heritage.

You're a shining soul in a broken home
They are a bright presence despite coming from a broken home.

It's okay that you're never gonna let it go
They will never fully let go of their past.

'Cos I'm overweight and underpaid
She feels undervalued and overworked.

I'm just trying to find some clarity
She is trying to clear her mind and find direction.

And the difference in seeing and believing
She is trying to distinguish between noticing something and truly believing it.

If you're over-dressed and under-slept
If someone is looking good but exhausted.

If those endless nights are what we all do best
If all we can do is stay up late and party.

I'm not sure that I could reach it
She is unsure if she can reach the party lifestyle.

Won't you tell me something awful
She is asking for something terrible to be shared with her.

While I stay and wish for you?
She will wait and hope for the person to stay with her.

I'd cross my fingers and close my eyes
She would hope for a positive outcome.

If you'd promise me that it won't come true
But she hopes the terrible thing won't actually happen.

Did I miss a verse?
She is questioning if she missed something important.

Did I strike a nerve?
She is questioning if she upset someone.

Did I say too much?
She is questioning if she revealed too much information.

Did I say too much again?
She reiterates her fear of revealing too much.

Did I say too much again?
She doubles down on her fear of sharing too much.
