[Chorus]
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
Don't let go

[Verse 1]
The day was long, the night was slow
I couldn't say I missed you though
I didn't know you yet to know
How much I need you so
Now, I can't recall a time
I didn't have you by my side
Now I am yours, and you are mine
And time moves swift as light

[Chorus]
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
Don't let go

[Verse 2]
If you love me, follow me
On and on from Halloween
The echo of a silent scream
The tempo of a dream
In cartilage and blood and teeth
In bruises on a bended knee
In minds alike that play for keeps
We jump into the deep
[Chorus]
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
Don't let go

[Bridge]
The truth is in the pencil
The strings, the heart, the eyes
The skin is sentimental
The bones will make you cry

[Chorus]
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
Don't let go

You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
You got me by the skin and bones
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
