lyrics

Skin and Bones

I woke up,
With "go home" written backwards on my cheek.
Feeling like a cryptic crossword clue,
Like a jigsaw's missing piece.

Staying up all night,
Isn't going to make it last.
Worrying about it,
Isn't going to bring it back.
I feel like i am carrying,
Water in my hands
If i could believe you,
Then I'd have a glass,

But i can't.

We are just skin and bones and blood,
Without love, without love.

I want to rest, where the trees grow tall,
Enough for men to feel small,
Enough, to think straight.
I want to say every kind word I've been thinking of
I want to do it without fear,
I want to do it without shame,
I want to do it,
Every single day.

We are just skin and bones,
And blood without love,
Without love.
( I hope my God has a plan for me , for me,
I hope my God has a plan for me, for me.)
We are just skin and bones,
And blood without love,
Without love.
