Skin Tight Lyrics

And when you get tired
of holding me tight
Remember it’s how I stay alive
When we come down
off our high for the night
You don’t let go

And if you’re feeling too close
Then we’re doing all right
Got you under my clothes
Take you out tonight
Take you out tonight

You’re so skin tight
You’re never close enough
You’re so skin tight
Wrap me in your love
So skin tight

Nothing else sliding
between you and me
What’s symbiotic will always be
Surrounding each other for eternity
And we won’t let go

So it gets a little hot
But the temperature’s right
I’ll take everything you got
Cause you’re always in my sight
Yeah, you’re always in my sight

You’re so skin tight
You’re never close enough
You’re so skin tight
Wrap me in your love
So skin tight

Anything less
And you’d be
Too far away
I can’t peel it back
Can’t peel it back
Can’t peel it back

Cause your skin tight
Fit me like a glove
Skin tight
Wrap me in your love

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.

Jake described this as a love song. It's about being really close (skin-tight) to someone.
