Skin

I slip out of my skin
 That's how it begins
 And drift across the room into you
 You look a bit surprised
 As you realize
 Underneath the fluorescent hue
 But you quickly let me in
 Before the light can bend
 Before the others realize what we do
 I look like I'm asleep
 But I'm just incomplete
 I watch myself the way that you do
 And this is how it feels to be you
 Sensation of your skin
 The way you ankles bend
 The way you hear a sigh across the room
 The taste inside your mouth
 As you breathe in and out
 Your eyes the sunlight scattering the gloom
 And this is how it feels to be you
 This is how it feels to be you
 Our fingers move like mice
 We see everything twice
 We see it once as me and once as you
 And where we overlap
 As we slowly adapt
 Is hard to ascertain or review
 Now I'm back inside myself
 And you are someone else
 And everything's the same and yet brand new
 If we had only known
 We were not skin and bone
 But more like vapor without residue
 And this is how it feels to be you
 This is how it feels to be you
 This is how it feels to be you...
 This is how it feels to be you
