Skin
King.Kidd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to climb into your skin
I remember when
I try to climb into your skin
Oh my my my my heart
I'm tired of the surface love
Full of conditions
Can I just be true for once
Let my guard down
Break this wall of mine
I want to do it
But not just for any
Fear of being abandoned
I push away
But for good reason normally
Don't wanna run
I'm ready for that one
Satisfy me feed my mind
Be the queen that I've been missing
Love me like Jilly uplift me like Badu
And I swear I'm not going anywhere
We can just go head say I do
Hell I'm stuck like glue
Pretty Smiles make me fall into
Temptation
And I got the best friend in you
So we can ride this through
Yea Yea
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
I try to climb into your skin
I remember when
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
I try to climb into your skin
You resonate with the moon
I with sun
Even though we're night and day
Somehow we balance out the world
Our paths connected beyond the physical
I remember when
Damn
Dreamed about you
Before we met
Instantly in love
You said hi my name is
And I've been thinkin bout you ever since
You connect with my essence
Getting deeper
You're under my skin
My twin flame
The Queen to my King
You just
Get me more than my soul mate ever did
Damn how the tables turn
Can I make you apart of my world
My muse
Your eyes begging me to let you in
Ya love erasing my resentment
You just let the King heal
And show you a love certifiably minted
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
I try to climb into your skin
I remember when
Time slipping by
The clock speeding up
It's like a bomb
Set to
Self destruct
But no one takes the second
To think a second
Save the broken
Embrace freedom
While it lasts
Like the last stand
These mutants
So desperate for a system
That praises separation
Silent and invisible chains
I remember when
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
