Salt On Skin Songtext
von Best Ex

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

But God bless the summer
The salt on skin
The way we
Slipped right under
Without noticing


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

I don′t believe them when they 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

But God bless the summer
The salt on skin
The way we
Slipped right under
Without noticing


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

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

God bless the summer
The salt on skin
The way we
Slipped right under
Without noticing

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
