I wake up reaching for the warmth you left behind Fingers searching empty sheets where your body used to lie The ghost of your perfume still haunts the pillowcase Pulling me under like a tide I can't escape I swore I'd never crawl back, said I was finally done But memory has sharper teeth than any promise won One thought of how you held me and my resolve caves in I'm dialing in the dark again, craving back your skin Back to your skin Where I lose myself and find the hurt again Soft lies in your touch that pull me under Hard goodbyes I know are waiting in the end Back to your skin Like a moth against the flame I can't resist Knowing I'll burn, still I persist You answer low and sleepy, voice like velvet sin Say: Come over like a prayer I can't help but give in We don't talk about tomorrow, we don't mention why we broke Just bodies speaking languages we never really spoke Your hands remember every map they drew on me before I let them lead me blindly through the same familiar door We fall into the rhythm of a love that never heals Pretending for a moment that this time it's real Back to your skin Where I lose myself and find the hurt again Soft lies in your touch that pull me under Hard goodbyes I know are waiting in the end Back to your skin Like a moth against the flame I can't resist Knowing I'll burn, still I persist And when the morning strips us bare You'll turn away like you don't care I'll leave before the light gets cruel Carrying the weight of missing you Until the night calls me once more Back into the arms I can't ignore
