Within Skin

2001

He asks if he can use me
Like I only want his skin
But we can do it all tonight
And still not go within

Although we're both on fire
Falling headlong into lust
Something in my heart tells me
That this is not enough

For a time we'll be together
More intimate than death
All too soon the time will come
When this will fade like breath

So when the moment's over
And smiles wear off in sleep
There aren't any dreams to hold
Or promises to keep

But I'll ask if I can use you
Like I only want your skin
And we will do it all tonight
But never quite begin.
