Settle on Your Skin Lyrics

If you're uncomfortable with silence
Let me shower you with these silly violets
You can listen to the petals
As they spin down to settle on your skin oh

I'll settle on your skin oh
I'll settle on your skin oh
I'll settle on your skin oh

But my voice is tired
And my voice is rough
My arms are tired
And my aim is off

It's the kind of day
Where lovers stay home

I know you know the pain
I know you know the pain
Of entering your name into the lottery again and again

No no
I know I know

I'll settle on your skin oh
I'll settle on your skin oh
I'll settle for your skin oh

I'll settle on your skin oh
I'll settle on your skin oh
I'll settle on your skin oh
I'll settle on your skin oh

My voice is tired
And my voice is rough
My arms are tired
And my aim is off
So get ready

I am the ice
And I am a volcano
Que sera sera
I am the bow and I am the arrow

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.

A good one off the new album. I'm definitely drawing sexual themes in these lyrics.

to me it sounds like:

'and I own a volcano' instead of 'and I am a volcano' and 'I own the bow' instead of 'I am the bow'

could be wrong, but that's what I hear!
