Arkells Skin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I like your skin on Sunday morning
After you've had five drinks at the bar
And I like your skin when it's hot in the summer
Reading a book by yourself at the park
And I like your skin when you're gettin' goosebumps
Whispering things that you wanna hear
I like your skin when it's freezing cold
Let me kiss you at midnight every New Year

[Pre-Chorus]
But it don't mean nothing when it's only skin deep
I'm promising everything, but what can I keep?
If you want the real thing, you're tired of acting
Like we're living a lie
[Chorus]
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss another day
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wantеd when I started
You're asking did thе feeling fade?
What happens when you hear my name?
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted when I started
Yeah, ask me what might have changed
I want skin in the game

[Verse 2]
I like your skin, but you don't wanna hear it
Rolling your eyes when my heart's on my sleeve
And l'Il love your skin when we're old and dancing Just give me a look when you're ready to leave

[Pre-Chorus]
It ain't worth discussing if it can't get deep
If it feels like I'm running, then it all gets cheap
You want the real thing
You're tired of acting
Can I see you tonight?

[Chorus]
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss another day
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted when I started
You're asking did the feeling fade?
What happens when you hear my name?
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted when I started
Ask me what might have changed, oh-oh
I want skin in the game
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss another day
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted when I started
You're asking did the feeling fade?
What happens when you hear my name?
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
What I wanted when I started
Ask me what might have changed, oh-oh
I want skin in the game
