Rag’n’Bone Man
Skin (Live from the BRITs 2018)
[Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
Thinking about you

[Verse 1: Rag'n'Bone Man]
Seconds from my heart
A bullet from the dark
Helpless, I surrender
Shackled by your love
Holding you like this
With poison on your lips
Only when it's over
The silence hits so hard

[Pre-Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
And it was almost love, it was almost love

[Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
[Post-Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost...

[Verse 2: Jorja Smith]
We bleed ourselves in vain
How tragic is this game?
Turn around, I'm holding on to someone
But the love is gone
Carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone
Knowing that we almost fell so far though
It's hard to tell

[Pre-Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Yeah we came so close, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love

[Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man & Jorja Smith]
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
[Post-Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
Thinking about you

[Bridge: Rag'n'Bone Man]
I reached out for your hand
When the walls were caving in
But I see you on the other side
We can try all over again

[Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man & Jorja Smith]
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you

[Post-Chorus: Rag'n'Bone Man]
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you (about you)
[Outro: Rag'n'Bone Man]
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
