Thin Skin

The Pressure Kids

Lyrics

Tuesday came 
I was feeling just about the same
I drove all night long to keep from dreaming.
Your undertow
Took me where I never thought I’d go 
The things I did not know only took a few days to fake them.

Jesus knew
Just what you and him would do 
But he was singing all day long while you were still grieving 
So how could I leave your body as it’s lying next to me?
I’m screaming
“How could I leave your body?”

We tried compromise
To find a little sun behind your eyes
But you were gracious with your sighs 
And I was unforgiving.
Now it’s a threat to you, you only turn a darker shade of blue
Each follow through
Took a little longer to shake it.

You can’t take that back
We become the only thing we lack
If I keep singing to your back while you are drinking honey.
Our long reprise 
Surely came to you as no surprise
But there was something in the signs
We should’ve been reading.

How high, thin skin
How high was I then?
