Bones
Melanie Fiona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make my heart hurt, you my love burn
You make the cuts down, you make my world turn
But words mean nothing, cause I'll abuse them oh, oh, oh
And you're touching the surface when I need an infusion
Oh, oh, oh

Straight through your skin
Pass your soul to your bones closer, further, deeper
Further inside you, than you've ever known
Desperately trying to feel ya
Uh, uh, uh
I need your bones
Uh, uh, uh
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie your bones!

I wanna own you, I wanna consume you
Get all molecular and pass myself through you!
Hey, baby cause nothing's enough, and I'm slowly dying
Oh, oh, oh
So please, save me now, you gotta keep trying
Oh, you gotta keep trying

Straight through your skin
Pass your soul to your bones closer further deeper
Further inside you, than you've ever known
Desperately trying to feel ya
Uh, uh, uh
I need your bones
Uh, uh, uh
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie your bones!

I pass your liver and your kidneys and your lungs, (closer, deeper)
Cause I wanna get lost deep, mixed up in you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, straight through your skin
Pass your soul to your bones (closer, darker, deeper)
Further inside you, than you've ever known
Desperately trying to feel ya
Uh, uh, uh
I need your bones




Uh, uh, uh
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie your bones!
