Skinlike Lyrics

Sometimes I drive so fast I feel like I can't even breathe the air.
There are times when I can't leave my house for a day or more.
At times I feel so numb I can't even glance at you that way.
From time to time I find that there is no other way.

When I touch your skin I feel like I have to wash my hands.
Just when I think I'm in control I fall apart again.
Sometimes I drive so fast I feel like I can't even breathe the air.
There are times when I can't leave my house for a day or more.

Sometimes I drive so fast I feel like I can't even breathe the air.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Amazing song. The lyrics are wrong though, missing two lines, for both skinlike and the original I think

The original Skinlike (4:22) goes:

Sometimes I drive so fast I feel like I can't even breathe the air. There are times when I can't leave my house for a day or more. At times I feel so numb I can't even glance at you that way. From time to time I find that there is no other way.

When I touch your skin I feel like I have to wash my hands. Just when I think I'm in control I fall apart again. Sometimes I drive so fast I feel like I can't even breathe the air. There are times when I can't leave my house for a day or more.
