Skin Is, My Lyrics

Cover art for Skin Is, My lyrics by Andrew Bird

I think it's about being so in love, or being so excited about being in love, the only thing holding you down to earth is your skin. It's like that feeling you get when your skin becomes irrelevant because it is so tangible, and you are consumed by the feelings within. It seems to me like he is in this sort of state, and feels out of sorts in a world that feels still and boring in comparison. He's waiting for something amazing to happen, something that measures up to his feelings.
