The seventh track off Clean, Soccer Mommy’s 2018 album, “Skin” sees Sophie Allison discussing her desire to be the one who her lover desires. Though the song begins with a generally hopeful-romantic tone, it slowly moves into something slightly sadder, with Alison acknowledging that she just wishes...
[Verse 1]
I wanna be the one you miss when you're alone
I wanna be the one you're kissing when you're stoned
Back in the alleyway behind your father's home
I'm clawing at your skin, trying to see your bones
[Verse 2]
I wanna be the one who keeps you up at night
Cling to the memory of how I brushed your sides
'Cause I'm just a puzzle piece trying to fit just right
So I could be someone who's stuck inside your mind
[Chorus]
Falling into my sins
You're still in, you're still in my
Skin, skin
I just wish you also felt like this
[Verse 3]
I wanna be the one who makes your stomach tied
I wanna make a knot and drag you like a kite
'Cause there's a certain pain that keeps you on my mind
When I see your healing skin erase me off your thighs
[Chorus]
Falling into my sins
You're still in, you're still in my
Skin, skin
I just wish you also felt like this
With every kiss
Balled up fist, grabbin' at your
Skin, skin
I just wish you also felt like this

“Skin” is another song where I’ve kind of fallen back into my old ways of wanting someone too much. I’m fighting between wanting to be cool and detached and wanting to drive someone crazy.
