Salt On Skin

[Verse 1] I don’t believe them when they say that time heals every wound It just makes them dull enough to cover up, to cover up Like the bruises on the back of my knees from the pedals of my bike I promised I would call And I just, and I just might [Pre-Chorus] But God bless the summer, the salt on skin The way we slipped right under without noticing [Chorus] And now we’re in the backyard playing cards Watching you blow out smoke, laughing at my bad jokes Made a habit lighting fires, pretending they don’t burn Say it don’t hurt, baby, say it don’t hurt [Verse 2] I don’t beliеve them when thеy say “if you love it, let it go” ‘Cause once you shut a door, it could stay, it could stay closed Like that apartment on 1st Ave Climb the stairs, undo the latch Catch a glimpse of my old self before it’s, before it’s passed [Pre-Chorus] But God bless the summer, the salt on skin The way we slipped right under without noticing [Chorus] And now we’re in the backyard playing cards Watching you blow out smoke, laughing at my bad jokes Made a habit lighting fires, pretending they don’t burn Say it don’t hurt, baby, say it don’t hurt [Bridge] Waiting every night for the heat to break Humidity so high that my hair betrayed me Reach out your hand, brush a curl out of my face And baby, I'm know for my mistakes Pulling at the cracks of my heartbreak But something’s telling me that this time things have changed [Pre-Chorus] God bless the summer, the salt on skin The way we slipped right under without noticing [Chorus] And now we’re in the backyard playing cards Watching you blow out smoke, laughing at my bad jokes Made a habit lighting fires, pretending they don’t burn Say it don’t hurt, baby, say it don’t hurt
