Skin to Skin

I'm exhausted nervous-wise
Keeping this up all my life
I don't even recognise
When I'm telling myself lies
Coax me up, let me down
Now easy babe, I'm not so sound
Free me from this enemy
Just switch off 'cause we've been acting like
Wind-up dolls at the start of the day
All through your life
And there's only one way
I need some

Skin to skin
Help me through the layer of the state I'm in
Well, it's somewhere to begin
Come on

You're eluding passers-by
Making friends with alibis
In the alleys of your life
Making sure the walls are high
Wake me up from this dream
Go easy, I'm not seventeen
Free us from this energy
Just switch on 'cause we
We've been acting like
Wind-up dolls at the start of the day
All through your life
And there's only one way
I need some

Skin to skin
Help me through the layer of the state I'm in
Skin to skin (well, it's somewhere to begin)
Help me through the layer of the state I'm in
Oh, it's somewhere to begin

Come on, give me something that you need to
I don't wanna make it like a bunch of rules
How long can you keep on with the 'self-abuse'?
I don't wanna make it any more than this, do you?
Shall we stay in the Now?
And if you're not ready I'll wait for you
Until you let me in

Coax me up, let me down
Now easy babe, I'm not so sound
Free me from this energy
Just switch off 'cause we've been acting like
Wind-up dolls at the start of the day
All through your life
'cause there's only one way, I
I need some

Skin to skin
Help me through the layer of the state I'm in
Well it's skin to skin
Help me through the layer of the state I'm in
Well, it's somewhere to begin
Skin to skin
Help me through the layer of the state that I'm in
Oh skin to skin
Help me through the layer of the state I'm in
Well, it's somewhere to begin
Come on
