Skin
Provision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They desperately follow
Your every move
So sensual
A universe filled with a void
And something you’ll enjoy
Like a new invention
Sexual tension
This room escapes me, time stands still
It feels like heaven
To touch your skin
Could this be sin?
Smooth and wet
The taste of your lips
Melting upon my breath
The world
Collapses around us
It couldn't have found us
It never had a chance
Time stands still
It can’t be real
It feels like heaven
To touch your skin

Can you sense my eyes?
Can you feel my gaze?
They desperately follow
My eyes are fixated on you
Your every move
I'm watching all your actions

Your movements are arousing
A universe filled with a void
My world is empty without you
And something you'll enjoy
Being with me will bring you pleasure

The attraction between us is intense
This room escapes me, time stands still
I'm lost in the moment with you, everything else fades away
It feels like heaven
Being close to you is like being in paradise
To touch your skin
Feeling the smoothness of your skin
Could this be sin?
Is this morally wrong?
Smooth and wet
Your skin is soft and moist
The taste of your lips
Your kiss is sweet on my lips
Melting upon my breath
Your kiss is so powerful it feels like I'm melting
The world
Everything else
Collapses around us
Fades away as we focus only on each other
It couldn't have found us
Nothing else matters when we're together
It never had a chance
Our love is too strong for anything else to interfere
Time stands still
The moment is so perfect it feels like time has stopped
It can't be real
This feels too good to be true
