Let's Trade Skins Lyrics
My heart is with you, its many dark corners
Its rings of smoke, its lighted hallways
And I wish you could know all the ghosts in my bones
They are weeping, they are screaming
They are inside my bodyO, lets trade skins
Im rippling in this skin that Im in
You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair
And think that it was fair
Im rippling in the skin that Im inIm gonna build you, she said, Im gonna heal you,
I can feel every part of you
That holds it together
And you always looked so happy when you were sleeping
Sleep is the only way sometimes
To live in a perfect worldIts party time, quiet and sublime
Tonight theres a party, a party of one
Like a wisp of smoke, solitary and thin
The heats coming off the fires we builtStars were meant to shoot
And waves were meant to crash
Im hypnotized by the flicker, and saddened by the ash
And its complicated with desires and dreams
With stiches and battle scars pulling apart at the seamsO, lets trade skins
Im rippling in this skin that Im in
You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair
And think that it was fair
Im rippling in the skin that Im in
