about

A visceral story of seeking connection and feeling detached, 'Skin On Skin' builds from vulnerable minimalism to a massive string section-stuffed climax. TYDE's debut single reflects on an experience of no-strings-attached intimacy, and the emotional repercussions.

lyrics

Last night I didn’t sleep in my own bed
I wanted to be somewhere else instead
I didn’t wanna think
So I bought another drink
Last night I didn’t sleep in my own bed

It was easy
It was easy
It was easy

Skin on skin, close your eyes
And just let it go
Trying to feel desire so I don’t feel low
Skin on skin, close your eyes
And don’t let me go
Until sunrise I wanna fool myself, so baby take your time, oh let’s go slow

It is a pipe dream
That this would make me feel like someone else
This isn’t like me
But maybe this is who I’m starting to be

“Is this a bad idea?”
That’s what you asked when you brought me here
You said it’s up to me
That it’s my decision
Maybe this is a bad idea?

Skin on skin, close your eyes
And just let it go
Trying to feel desire so I don’t feel low
Skin on skin, close your eyes
And don’t let me go
Until sunrise I want to fool myself, so baby take your time, oh let’s go slow

It was easy
It was easy
It was easy
It was easy
It was easy
It was easy

Last night I didn’t sleep in my own bed

Skin on skin, close your eyes
And just let it go
Trying to feel desire so I don’t feel low

Skin on skin, close your eyes
And just let it go
Trying to feel desire so I don’t feel low
Skin on skin, close your eyes
And don’t let me go
Until tomorrow I wanna fool myself, so baby take your time, oh let’s go slow
Oh baby let’s go slow

Trying to feel desire so I don’t feel low
This feels like a bad idea
But baby please don’t let me go
