Midnight Skin on Mine

[Verse 1]
You pour red wine
On my bare daylight
Say my name slow
Like it’s saving your life
Laugh in my shirt
Button halfway wrong
Your heartbeat
Already writing the song
[Chorus]
Midnight skin on mine
We keep losing track of time
Every sigh a little rhyme
We don’t even have to try
Midnight skin on mine
You’re the only sacred sign
Baby let the world rewind
While your midnight skin’s on mine (ohhh)
[Verse 2]
You trace back roads
On my shoulder blades
Promise me nothing
But you still stay
Your hair
My hands
Like they always knew
Exactly
Where they’re supposed to move
[Chorus]
Midnight skin on mine
We keep losing track of time
Every sigh a little rhyme
We don’t even have to try
Midnight skin on mine
You’re the only sacred sign
Baby let the world rewind
While your midnight skin’s on mine (yeah)
[Bridge]
Say you’re scared of forever
So we freeze this frame
If this is just for tonight
Love
Let it never have a name
Just your breath in my ear
Just your mouth on my spine
Just a hush
Just a hush
As you whisper “you’re mine”
[Chorus]
Midnight skin on mine
We keep losing track of time
Every sigh a little rhyme
We don’t even have to try
Midnight skin on mine
You’re the only sacred sign
Baby let the world rewind
While your midnight skin’s on mine
[Outro]
Stay right here
Till the colors fade
One last kiss
On the mess we made

Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a soaring sax counter-melody. Overall: late-night, deeply romantic, very hook-driven., blues, romantic, mellow, pop, jazz
