Allison Ponthier - Skin Lyrics

Allison Ponthier Lyrics

"Skin"

She knows everything about everything
And I know I know nothing at all

She's effortless
Delicate
But tough enough to get in a brawl

Maybe she's hiding a rabbit's foot
Clover or crystal ball
And I can't even hate her
She deserves the world
And this song

I'd say
I wanna wear your skin
Just for a day
I wanna feel special for a change
I wanna be the shit
One little taste
Of all the thoughts that rattle your brain
I bet it's nothing
Oh, I bet it's nothing at all

I bet she doesn't cry in therapy
Cause honestly her trauma sounds cool
She's got the luxury of suffering
In a heated infinity pool
She's the people's princess, pitchfork songstress
And I'm a gross fly on the wall
Do I want her life, or as a wife?
Well, here's what I would say if she called

I'd say
I wanna wear your skin
Just for a day
I wanna feel special for a change
I wanna be the shit
One little taste
Of all the thoughts that rattle your brain
I bet it's nothing
Oh, I bet it's nothing at all
I wouldn't ever
Oh, I wouldn't ever feel small

You wouldn't last a day
You wouldn't make it
Crumble under the weight
When we switch places
I'd be the golden child
The special favorite
You wouldn't know how good you got it
Until I take it

I wanna wear your skin
Just for a day
I wanna feel special for a change
I wanna be the shit
One little taste
Of all the thoughts that rattle your brain
I bet it's nothing
Oh, I bet it's nothing at all
I wouldn't ever
Oh, I wouldn't ever feel small
