Bones and Markings

Baby, rip the skin from your back
To show me that your spine’s still in tact
‘Cause we’ve got bones underneath our skin
Telling us just where we’ve been.
I need you and I’m sorry for that
‘Cause I need you and you’ve still got my back.
I’ll give you everything if you want
But I know your answer’s always “I won’t.”

And I’m lost in the crowds, I’m quiet for now
I’m holding it in, I’m learning how

How to let you know that I’m always yours
How to let you know I more than adore, you.

Bones and markings, our fates intertwined
I salt our wounds yet you’re always on my mind
Your touch so tender, your kiss so kind…
I am yours, and you are mine.
Bones and markings, you’re my spine.

The tears may go but the sadness stays
Every month I spend with you just feels like days.
And the days are packed and I’m finding light
My dusty bones, with you, they’re alright.
You changed a life right here and right now,
I was dead to the nines, but I’m fine and how!
I wanna give you everything that you need,
But it’s scary since we don’t need to bleed.

And I’m lost in my mind, I’m falling behind
You’re holding me close, I’m no longer blind

Blind to happiness that you’ve given me
Blind to sleepless nights that won’t let me near, you.

Bones and markings, our fates intertwined
I salt our wounds yet you’re always on my mind
Your touch so tender, your kiss so kind…
I am yours, and you are mine.
Bones and markings, you’re my spine.

You’re talking in your sleep
Don’t you realize that I’m here to stay?
You’re cutting me deep

I take it in the worst way.

Take your bones out, give them to me.
I’ll dust them off and you’ll agree
We’re better off together, my bones rest easy
Knowing that you and me, we are we.

Bones and markings, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Bones and markings, our fates intertwined
I salt our wounds yet you’re always on my mind
Your touch so tender, your kiss so kind…
I am yours, and you are mine.
Bones and markings, you’re my spine.

Bones and markings, our peace of mind
You heal my wounds, my defenses undermined
Your face so friendly, your kiss so kind…
I am yours, and you are mine.
Bones and markings, you’re my spine.
