Skin and Bones (feat. Darren Criss) Lyrics

CHARLENE:
Darling, why am I not surprised it rained today?
Doesn't it seem my broken heart just tends to ride the wind,
but what will break the weight that's held up by a string?

You don't reminisce like me 'bout how it was,
romanticizing these redundant thoughts .
I'm never free .
So I wait for your parade to come rain down on me

I'm running around, hoping to find
somebody like the boy that I left behind
who loved all of me
my fingernails and scatterbrain and crooked teeth

DARREN:
Oh, Dreams don't carry quite the weight they used to have
two kids looking through rosy coloured glass
like fools in love
the summer drugged our senses, filled our eyes with stars

CHARLENE:
but now we say goodnight confined to separate sides
and you'll never compromise your current life to look behind
you never planned to love me for this long a time

BOTH:
I'm running around hoping to find
somebody like

CHARLENE:
my one, though in time I'm sure
I'll grow to know
another's eyes, another's laugh and skin and bones

[scatting and instrumental]

But til then, I'll keep on wanting you who I can't have
Cause with the distance came this awful dam
and being in in love
with someone I can't feel or hold or see or touch

BOTH:
I'm running around hoping to find 
somebody like

CHARLENE:
my one, though in time I'm sure

DARREN:
I'll grow to know

BOTH:
another's eyes, another's laugh and skin and bones

Love come and take me, Love come come and take me away, Love come and take me, Love come and take me away with you, oooh
