SkinBones

Skin & Bones - Al Lewis & Sarah Howells

You say that maybe absence

Has made my heart grow cold

It's not how the story goes

For all this screaming silence

Won't help to abide

With what I feel inside

And all these doubts how they linger and weigh me down

Afraid of scratching the surface and finding out

That we're two worlds apart

I clutch at straws and search for sparks

Something to ignite your heart

I stitch and sew the skin and the bones

That will hold us together

You're always in the background

You carved out your name

On my bedroom door

And all of these possessions

I used to call my own

Have all been taken home

And all these doubts how they linger and weigh me down

Afraid of scratching the surface and finding out

That we're two worlds apart

I clutch at straws and search for sparks

Something to ignite your heart

I stitch and sew the skin and the bones

That will hold us together

But all I can do

Is sit and around and wait for you to decide

Wait for you to decide

If my love could be enough

That we're two worlds apart

I clutch at straws and search for sparks

Something to ignite your heart

I stitch and sew the skin and

The bones that will hold us together

The skin and the bones that will

Hold us together
