With My Skin And Thoughts

from Save Your Breath by Rowan Lewis

/

lyrics

You paint a little world, in the small of my back
With your whispers and your fingertips
And I rinse it off with the greatest care I can
And add to this universe.

From nowhere, in the static tear stained joy,
I feel your ghostly arms

There’s not much of me to give ‘cept breath
But you can take whatever’s left
Not enough, not enough, not enough, I fear
Oh, I trust you with my skin and thoughts
They’re yours, they’re yours, they’re yours, oh
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I’m here

Lend me a dream of songs which will never exist
‘Cos I dreamt they were penned by someone else
Awaken and know a tune, which I didn’t before
And feel like I’m emerging from a sea

But this torrent is deep within my very being, and my ribs are a dam
Brittle bone is threatening to burst-

There’s not much of me to give ‘cept breath
But you can take whatever’s left
Not enough, not enough, not enough, I fear
Oh, I trust you with my skin and thoughts
They’re yours, they’re yours, they’re yours, oh
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I’m here

From somewhere in the depths of my outer space
You are a solar flare.

There’s not much of me to give ‘cept bone
You’ll keep it white and call me home
I am sure, I am sure, I am sure of this
Outer space and oceans couldn’t hold
This manic heart and ragged soul
You can board with it all, as we coexist-

There’s not much of me to give ‘cept breath
But you can take whatever’s left
Just enough, just enough, just enough, it’s clear
Oh, I trust you with my skin and thoughts
They’re yours, they’re yours, they’re yours, they’re yours
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I’m here.

(Not enough)
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I’m here
(Hurry up)
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I’m here.
