Northern Skin Songtext
von Actor|Observer

You, you see me for so much more
Than I could ever see within myself
Spent so much time in bed reaching for
A time back that it became the norm
The coldest shoulders
That made my skin go numb
Until I felt your warmth
I was burned at the touch
But from that break of sun
A part of me is waking up

You found me just as I was shutting down (Shutting down)
My life was buried in the frozen ground
Shake the dirt and the ice
I fell so fast aside
I discarded the past
But it wasn′t 'til I saw your eyes looking into mine
That I broke down, that I realized


How much I have hurt
Covered in the dirt
Hardened in the cold
My heart was put on hold
So this is what it means
To finally be seen
To be brought to my knees
But never have to plead
My life′s on a new phase
It's just serendipity
But this was no mistake
We're right where we should be (You′re not alone)

It′s just not what I'm used to
After all those years trying to be of some use to
Someone who never needed me
Someone who never needed what I was
So I learned to live with it
Until your fingers felt my skin
Burning me like medicine
Showing me what I′d been missing
No apprehension, we just fell into it

You found me just as I was shutting down (Shutting down)
My life was buried in the frozen ground
Shake the dirt and the ice
I fell so fast aside
I discarded the past
But it wasn't ′til I saw your eyes looking into mine
That I broke down, that I realized
