Porcelain is one of two singles on Skott’s debut EP, Porcelain / Wolf. The song’s verses are carried by Skott’s bladed but delicate vocals, while the verses feature what seems to be an autotuned children’s choir. The overall effect is one of unholy enchantment, with Skott atop some faraway precipice...
[Verse 1]
Hold your horses
Hold, hold the border
Don't come closer
Don't, don't let go of me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm like porcelain
When you're with me
All, all I know is
[Chorus]
Just about a million ways to harm you
All the things I shouldn't say
Are the things that when I want to make you happy
And it comes out of me
[Verse 2]
What if I dropped
Dropped the steering wheel

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm like porcelain
When I love you
I, I know it's
[Chorus 2]
Just about a million ways to harm you

Are the things that when I want to make you happy
And it comes out of me
We have got the power of destruction
You can always let it fall
But when we try to work on something solid
It is too goddamn hard
[Bridge]
Give it a thought, it takes a lot
To trust that someone else will catch my fall (I'm like porcelain)
It takes a lifetime, breaking goes fast
When everything that matters made of glass
[Chorus]
Just about a million ways to harm you
All the things I shouldn't say
Are the things that when I want to make you happy
And it comes out of me
[Chorus 2]
Just about a million ways to harm you
All the things I shouldn't say
Are the things that when I want to make you happy
And it comes out of me
We have got the power of destruction
You can always let it fall
But when we try to work on something solid
It is too goddamn hard
[Outro]
I'm like porcelain
I'm like porcelain
I'm like porcelain
I'm like porcelain
I'm like porcelain
Porcelain was written by Skott & Agrin Rahmani.
Porcelain was produced by Agrin Rahmani.
“The most precious things take time and care to build, but take only a fraction of that time to destroy or break…‘Porcelain’ is about how you can spend limitless time creating something—trust, for example—but you can also let it fall to the ground in a second,” Skott told Pigeons and Planes, “I wrot...
