Menomena Skintercourse lyrics

i fell in love with the feeling of being in love
i should have known it wouldn't last
but i had the traits
and the confident face of a man
and i'll evolve if i can't adapt

so i fell in love with the feeling of my own hands
stretching back
letting go
i shed the skin that i slithered in for so long
i rubbed my stomach raw

i can't identify the source of my
overarching need to pry under your skin
i guess it started all the way back when
you and i used to pretend we were just friends

now i'm overlooked and undertouched
i overcompensated for such

and i can't get back to where i once was

i wish i'd been the one to come undone
to have and hold this magic wand over your head

i can't identify the source of this
overarching need to twist the knife in your skin
i guess it started once i realized
this life i once idealized is all gone to shit

now i'm underdressed and overtouched
i didn't think that i'd like it so much
and i won't go back to where i once was

thank god i was the one to come undone
now i can hold this smoking gun over your head
