Lyrics Skintercourse - Menomena

Skintercourse

I fell in love with the feeling of being in love
I should have known it wouldn’t last
But i had the traits
And the confident face of a man
And i’ll evolve if i can’t adapt
So i fell in love with the feeling of my own hands
Stretching back
Letting go
I shed the skin that i slithered in for so long
I rubbed my stomach raw
I can’t identify the source of my
Overarching need to pry under your skin
I guess it started all the way back when
You and i used to pretend we were just friends
Now i’m overlooked and undertouched
I overcompensated for such
And i can’t get back to where i once was
I wish i’d been the one to come undone
To have and hold this magic wand over your head
I can’t identify the source of this
Overarching need to twist the knife in your skin
I guess it started once i realized
This life i once idealized is all gone to shit
Now i’m underdressed and overtouched
I didn’t think that i’d like it so much
And i won’t go back to where i once was
Thank god i was the one to come undone
Now i can hold this smoking gun over your head
