Salt Skin Lyrics - Ellie Goulding

1 You're sharp as a knife

2 And you fit like a glove

3 That is no way to live

4 That is no way to love

5 Full of fear in your skin

6 And the weakness in giving in

7 You're stabbed in the back

8 But you feel no pain

9 Push the heaviest doors

10 That you can't open

11 Yeah, they tied me up

12 And my body lies still again

13 You're as bright as the sun

14 And as calm as the moon

15 I don't know when you'll break

16 But it's gonna be soon

17 If my will caves in

18 I'll be in the same boat as you

19 I've got the salt skin

20 Running to where he is

21 Never going to give in

22 Even with the strength

23 He's stealing salt skin

24 Telling me I'm winning

25 Wars they created just to understand

26 "The meaning of"

27 Hands on strings

28 And my mouth open

29 Find the perfect words

30 That I've not spoken

31 And I won't tell the truth

32 Unless you want me to

33 For all of the times

34 That I lost my head

35 When it rolled to the floor

36 And I found it again

37 But when it came back

38 No, I didn't know my own name

39 I've got the salt skin

40 Running to where he is

41 Never going to give in

42 Even with the strength

43 He's stealing salt skin

44 Telling me I'm winning

45 Wars they created just to understand

46 "The meaning of"

47 I've got the salt skin

48 Running to where he is

49 Never going to give in

50 Even with the strength

51 He's stealing salt skin

52 Telling me I'm winning

53 Wars they created just to understand

54 I've got the salt skin

55 Running to where he is

56 Never going to give in

57 Even with the strength

58 He's stealing salt skin

59 Telling me I'm winning

60 Wars they created just to understand

61 "The meaning of"

62 The meaning
