I am holding back my tongue Try not to let it show but all your Friends and family seem to notice I hope it gets to you, when you are ready I am telling you all my thoughts As you empty out your pockets For the plane ticket that you've lost Be safe you fool, in New York City Be safe you fool, In New York City Oh, I will break you in I've tried it before and I'll try it again But if this time you Feel your shell has grown too thin Then I would lend you my skin I'd lend you my skin Heard you were rolling in the good times out west Went to the desert to find your destiny and place Did they set you straight in your life crisis Did you see me floating there above your body Like an angel suspended or an enemy you failed to recognize Was I there that night? Did I haunt you Was I there that night? Could I save you Oh, I will break you in I like the fight And you, you like to win But if this time you feel my love has grown too thin Then I would lend you my skin I'd lend you my skin
