I’m exhausted nervous-wise, keeping this up all my life
I don’t even recognise when I’m telling myself lies
Coax me up, let me down now
Easy babe I’m not so sound
Free me from this enemy
Just switch off cause we’ve been acting like
Wind-up dolls at the start of the day
All through your life
And there’s only one way
I need some skin to skin
Help me through this layer
Of the state I’m in
Well, it’s somewhere to begin,
Come on…
You’re eluding passers-by, making friends with alibis
In the alleys of your life, making sure the walls are high
Wake me up from this dream
Go easy, I’m not seventeen
Free us from this energy, just
Switch off cause we
We’ve been acting like
Wind-up dolls at the start of the day
All through your life
And there’s only one way
I need some skin to skin
Help me through the layer
Of the state I’m in (skin to skin)
Help me through the layer
Of the state I’m in
Well, it’s somewhere to begin,
Come on give me something that you need too,
I don’t wanna make it like bunch of rules,
how long can you keep up with the self-abuse?
I don’t wanna make it any more than this, do you?
shall we stay in the Now and if you’re not ready I’ll wait for you
until you let me in
Oh coax me up, let me down now
Easy babe I’m not so sound
Free me from this energy
Just switch off cause we’ve been acting like
Wind-up dolls at the start of the day
All through your life
Cause there’s only one way, I…
I need some skin to skin, help me through the layer of the state I’m in
Well, it’s somewhere to begin, come on…
