Skin and Bones (ft. Charlene Kaye)

CHARLENE: 
 Darling, why am I not surprised it rained today? 
 Doesn’t it seem my broken heart just tends to ride the wind, 
 but what will break the weight that’s held up by a string? 


 You don’t reminisce like me 'bout how it was, 
 romanticizing these redundant thoughts .
 I’m never free .
 So I wait for your parade to come rain down on me 


 I’m running around, hoping to find 
 somebody like the boy that I left behind 
 who loved all of me 
 my fingernails and scatterbrain and crooked teeth 


 DARREN: 
 Oh, Dreams don’t carry quite the weight they used to have 
 two kids looking through rosy coloured glass 
 like fools in love 
 the summer drugged our senses, filled our eyes with stars 


 CHARLENE: 
 But now we say goodnight confined to separate sides 
 and you’ll never compromise your current life to look behind 
 You never planned to love me for this long a time 


 BOTH:
 I’m running around hoping to find 
 somebody like 


 CHARLENE:
 My one, though in time I’m sure 
 I’ll grow to know 
 Another’s eyes, another’s laugh and skin and bones 


 [scatting and instrumental]


 But til then, I’ll keep on wanting you who I can’t have 
 Cause with the distance came this awful dam 
 And being in love 
 With someone I can’t feel or hold or see or touch 


 BOTH:
 I’m running around hoping to find somebody like 


 CHARLENE:
 My one, though in time I’m sure 


 DARREN:
 I’ll grow to know 


 BOTH:
 Another’s eyes, another’s laugh and skin and bones


 Love come and take me, 
Love come come and take me away,
 Love come and take me, 
Love come and take me away with you, oooh
