Summer, spring, find yourself falling for anyone
And sometimes in the morning, dressing,
She can't bear the feeling 
Of clothes against her skin

​

She says

“Undo all the knots you've tied yourself in
Feel your way around
This skin you're living in
Don't give away your secrets so soon”

​

All the things you notice as you're falling 
She's smiling
Shrugs her shoulders
To cool the air between the cotton and her skin

​

And later as she's talking 
Idly fingers
The shirt under her sleeve 
And you can hardly breathe 

​

She says

“Undo all the knots you've tied yourself in
Feel your way around
This skin you're living in

Don't give away your secrets so soon

Don't tell me your dreams 
Live them”

​

Undo all the knots you've tied yourself in
Feel your way around
This skin you're living in

Don't give away your secrets so soon

Don't tell me your dreams
Live them.

​

And when you're down she says

Look up the sun is still shining
It's as bright as the day you were born 
Loved and careless 
Simple and forlorn.
