Once you've been bitten

You get a little bit shy

Start looking round for anyplace that you can hide

Once you've been naked

You get a thick thick skin

Build it up layer by layer and you climb on in

And then you're wrapped up oh so tightly

That I don't think you feel a thing

No sting of snowflakes, no kiss of angel's wings

And maybe you don't need that skin anymore

Maybe if you took it off you would not have to breathe

Maybe air would just flow in and out of you as it pleased

Look at all the heaviness

And the weight in this world

Put and old lady backbone in a little baby girl

Left no room for no lover

Left no time for no friend

Just a little voice saying never never never again

But if there's no such thing as safety

And if there ain't no guarantee

Maybe the coast is just as clear as it is ever gonna be

And maybe you don't need that skin anymore

Maybe if you took it off you would not even have to breathe

Maybe air would just flow in and out of you as it pleased

Like a summer breeze

Don't you want to feel the breeze

Don't you want to feel it now

Sweet summer breeze
