Lyrics Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay

Skin & Bones

Love is skin and bones we don't want to be

Wasting all our breath on things that we don't think that we'll need

Love is skin and bones no one else can see

Behind the door we are unhappy that's between you and me

That's between you and me

Love is skin and bones, too many mouths to feed

We've made an art of neglecting what we don't want to see

Love is skin and bones trying to set us free

I can feel the pulse is dying in captivity

Someday, someday soon we're going to open our eyes

Break out the windows and fly, I want to see it

Love is skin and bones, screaming inside of me

Like a siren on the crest of the emergency

Love is skin and bones for the world to see

To remind us that the heart will never hold our pity

Look over my love while she sleeps tonight

Look over my love while she sleeps tonight, tonight

Someday, someday we're going to open our eyes

Break out the windows and fly, I want to see it

Someday, someday when all the words feel wrong

You'll have a heart beating strong, it will go on and on

Someday, someday when all the words feel wrong

You'll have a heart beating strong, it will go on and on
