Under My Skin

How'd you get so far under my skin
I can feel you there listening
I can hear you lingering in my riddles of love
Oh babe, it's been years and years
Since I started writing this song
So if you're passing through
I'd say it wasn't really about you
If you'd stay with me longer than tonight
There's no telling what we could write

I've been writing love poems to the stars
Trying to spell out my heart
Never dream I'd hear them respond to me
Oh but babe when you looked at me last night so fondly
I swear I could hear
The song of a thousand lifetimes of fears
Fall away to the fires I saw burning in your eyes
Oh how long I've been chasing that sight

How'd you come to feel so much like home
Like the place I've tried to find on my own
Like the love I've been after with all these words
Like the sound of the song in my heart
I know in my heart you heard
And if you're passing through
I'd say it wasn't really about you
But if you'd stay with me longer than tonight
There's no telling what we could write

And if you're passing through
I'd say it wasn't really about you
If you'd stay with me longer than tonight
Oh baby what could we write
