Salt Skin - Ellie Goulding, Alex Metric

You’re as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove

That is no way to live, that is no way to love

Full of fear in your skin and the weakness is giving in

You’re stabbed in the back, but you feel no pain

Push the heaviest doors that you can’t open

Yeah they tied me up and my body lies still again

You’re as bright as the sun and as calm as the moon

I don’t know when you’ll break, but it’s going to be soon

If my will caves in, I’ll be in the same boat as you

I’ve got the salt skin, running to where he is

Never going to give in, even with the strength

He’s stealing salt skin

Telling me I’m winning wars they created

Just to understand… «the meaning of»

Hands on strings and my mouth open

Find the perfect words that I’ve not spoken

And I won’t tell the truth, unless you want me to

For all of the time that I lost my head

When it rolled to the floor and I found it again

But when it came back

No, I didn’t know my own name

I’ve got the salt skin, running to where he is

Never going to give in, even with the strength

He’s stealing salt skin

Telling me I’m winning wars they created

Just to understand… «the meaning of»

I’ve got the salt skin, running to where he is

Never going to give in, even with the strength

He’s stealing salt skin

Telling me I’m winning wars they created

Just to understand…

I’ve got the salt skin, running to where he is

Never going to give in, even with the strength

He’s stealing salt skin

Telling me I’m winning wars they created

Just to understand… «the meaning of»
