“Skinned Knees,” the fourth track off For Young Hearts, sees Allison grappling with falling for someone, juxtaposing her growing feelings with vaguely violent imagery.
[Verse 1]
Soft face
Playing in the autumn streets with blood laced shoes
I fake
Stomach aches when I'm in school to wait there for you
Yeah, I do
[Verse 2]
Old flames
Grow and die with every year but you stay hot
'Cause you're fucking crazy
You skinny dip in your neighbor's pool
But you won't get caught
No, you won't
[Chorus]
I think I'm falling, baby, oh yeah, I'm falling
And I won't ever let you go
I think I'm falling, baby, oh yeah, I'm falling
And I won't ever let you go
[Verse 3]
Skinned knees
Face down in the autumn street, a concrete rash
And you cried
Shed a tear for auburn blood that you won't get back
No, you won't
[Verse 4]
I left
Burning streets in Tennessee for a northeast feel
But summer
Always hurts, think of you first and your skin peel
Yeah, I do
[Chorus]
'Cause I was falling, baby, oh, I was falling
Now I won't ever let you go
Yeah, I was falling, baby, oh shit, I'm falling
Now I won't ever let you
No, I won't ever let you
No, I won't ever let you go
