[Verse 1] Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired To the place where I cleared my head of you But just for today I think I'll lie here and dream of you [Chorus] I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in But if the sweat pours out Just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out [Verse 2] A howling wind blows the litter As the rain flows And streetlamps pour orange colored shapes Through your windows A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile [Chorus] I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in But if the sweat pours out Just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out [Instrumental]
