Description
Sometimes love is not like a kiss in the rain, but like the desire to get under someone's skin - literally. So close that you understand what makes the other person's heart beat the way it does, and not differently. This is no longer tenderness, but obsession - the fine line between ‘I want to be close’ and ‘I want to become you’.
It all sounds like a slow, lingering dream - warm and slightly dangerous. Every line seems to breathe with fever, and behind the soft ‘darling’ hides a request to let in just a little deeper. And the quieter the music, the clearer it becomes: sometimes love is not a touch, but an invasion under the skin.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I wish I was black and blue, I'd hide under your skin
You would think I'm just a bruise, but I would be so close to you
I'd make my way up through your veins and once you fall asleep
I'd break my way into your heart to know what keeps it beating
Darlin', lay your head and pull me close
But close ain't close enough
I wanna feel you from the inside
Darlin', lay your head and hold me close
Show me all the ropes
I wanna feel you from the inside
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'd build a ladder up into your brain to see the world through your eyes
I'd learn all of the things you love and everything that you despise
I'd try for days to make you cry so I could ride on your tear
I'd ride that tear right down your cheek onto your lips and steal a kiss
Darlin', lay your head and pull me close
But close ain't close enough
I wanna feel you from the inside
Darlin', lay your head and hold me close
Show me all the ropes
I wanna feel you from the inside
Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me
I try to hold it, but your heart's too heavy
Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me
Won't tell me if you want me too
Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me
I know you're hurtin' but your heart's not empty
Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me
Won't tell me if you want me too
Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me
I try to hold it, but your heart's too heavy
Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me
Won't tell me if you want me too
Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me
I know you're hurtin' but your heart's not empty
Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me
