I Am Your Skin Lyrics

And you know me now
like a mother knows her child
And you know me now
like i came from your own body
I can feel your pulse
like a moth inside a jar
But even this is still too far
even this is still too far

(Chorus)
I wanna be your skin
I wanna be your skin
I wanna feel everything you feel
I will be your covering

So let them come
like an army against us
I know you wont be afraid
'cause I am the armor upon you now
and we are never betrayed
There is no ending between you and me

(Chorus) x's 2
I wanna be your skin
I wanna be your skin
I wanna feel everything you feel
I will be your covering
And I will hide you inside of me
With every breath in harmony
I wanna be your skin
I wanna be your covering

I wanna be your skin
I wanna be your covering

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.

What a great song from the Bravery's new album...its so upbeat and very techno-like...when i first read the lyrics it sounded like a romantic song pretty much...but knowing the Bravery i know there is a darker meaning to this song which i have yet to have deciphered...either way I love this song and it has become one of my favorite from theirs

official lyrics from the booklet!

And you know me now like a mother knows a child And you know me now like I came from your own body I can feel your pulse like a moth inside a jar And even this is still too far Even this is still too far I wanna be your skin I wanna feel everything you feel I wanna be your covering So let them come like an army against us I know you won't be afraid Because I am the armor upon you now And we are never betrayed There is no ending between you and me I wanna be your skin I wanna feel everything you feel I wanna be your covering And I will hide you inside of me With every breath in harmony I wanna be your skin I wanna be your covering.

i got the podcast from itunes where sam is talking about the songs. he says that this song is basically about being with something so close that they basically become a part of you, hence the whole "be your skin"
