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
