Electric Skin

[Verse 1]

You trace my name

On a cracked phone screen

Say you’re fine

But your teeth look mean

Cheap red dye

In your bathroom sink

You say you’re over it

You just need a drink

[Pre-Chorus]

Every word a little static in my head

You’re a loaded question lying in my bed

You say “relax”

But your hands won’t stay still

You don’t want love

You just want the thrill (uh)

[Chorus]

You’re under my electric skin

Burning up from the inside in

I don’t wanna let you in

I don’t wanna let you in

But you keep breaking

Breaking

Breaking

You’re under my electric skin

Every touch is original sin

Yeah

I know how this will end

But I keep chasing

Chasing

Chasing you

[Verse 2]

You bite your lip

When you watch me fall

Laugh too loud

In a quiet hall

Silver ring

Cutting into my face

You call it “art”

I just call it “a trace”

[Pre-Chorus]

Every lie a little heaven in my veins

You’re a car crash written on my DNA

You say “trust me”

And I almost believe

You don’t want truth

You just want to leave (hey)

[Chorus]

You’re under my electric skin

Burning up from the inside in

I don’t wanna let you in

But you keep breaking

Breaking

Breaking

You’re under my electric skin

Every touch is original sin

Yeah

I know how this will end

But I keep chasing

Chasing

Chasing you

[Bridge]

Turn the light off

I see you clearer

In the dark

You’re a funhouse mirror

Say you’re done

But you’re drawing nearer

Mouth to my ear

And you whisper

[Chorus]

“I’m under your electric skin”

Now we’re burning from the inside in

We don’t ever get to win

But we keep breaking

Breaking

Breaking

You’re under my electric skin

Every breath a confession again

Yeah

We know how this will end

But we keep chasing

Chasing

Chasing (you)
