lyrics

The movie ain't over,
but Amy's ready to leave.
I got dropped off;
your truck don't have the seats,
so let her sit up front.
You two go on ahead.
I'm gonna stay;
I want to see the end.

From skin to skeleton,
how does all this end,
past screens and curtains,
enemies and best friends.

From skin to skeleton,
how does all this end,
past screens and curtains,
enemies and best friends.

& I walked by the dark horse after,
but I didn’t go in.
Out in this same rain,
people getting pinned.
Fireworks light even
in weather like this.
Nothing sparks in water
better than a kiss.

From skin to skeleton,
how does all this end,
past screens and curtains,
enemies and best friends.

From skin to skeleton,
how does all this end,
past screens and curtains,
enemies and best friends.

When I opened my eyes,
Amy was on the edge of the bed,
wearing the same clothes from the night before
talking about the end.
All the shapes a flame makes
as it flickers in the fuel.
Love doesn’t want to hurt you,
it’s time that is cruel.

From skin to skeleton,
how does all this end,
past screens and curtains,
enemies and best friends.

From skin to skeleton,
how does all this end,
past screens and curtains,
enemies and best friends.
