Skinnydipped Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm a little late, ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait, ah-ah, ah-ah
[Verse 1]
I dabble in the past, yeah, I said it
I finally admit it
I told you it was over, then I skinny-dipped and did it
I should've known better, but I didn't overthink it
And I probably would've floated, but I sank it
Took a dive in the deep and forgot to move
Swam with the fish 'til my kiss turned blue
I aired out my sheets 'cause they smell like you
I cleaned out the salt in my wounds
[Chorus]
And I'm a little late, ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait, ah-ah, ah-ah
Take you out into the lake, ah-ah, ah-ah
Then I'll let you swim away, ah-ah, yeah-yeah
[Verse 2]
I step on every crack, give me credit
Your ego, never fed it
My legs just caught a cold and so I didn't wanna spread it
You told me if I tried to walk away I would regret it
Maybe if I didn't swim, I would've sweat it
Used to read every story 'bout me and you
Checked out your book, now it's overdue
I tried to return 'cause I'm over you
I cleaned out the salt in my wounds
[Chorus]
And I'm a little late, ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait, ah-ah, ah-ah
Take you out into the lake, ah-ah, ah-ah
Then I'll let you swim away, ah-ah, yeah-yeah
[Bridge]
Acting like you know me
Instead of trying to show me
Say you praise my body
I could love somebody else
Better if I was lonely
Justified to hold me
Maybe if I was the only
Better if I would've known better
[Chorus]
And I'm a little late, ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait, ah-ah, ah-ah
Take you out into the lake, ah-ah, ah-ah
Then I'll let you swim away, ah-ah, yeah-yeah

What did BANKS say about "Skinnydipped"?
Skinnydipped is a song about finally letting go of something that you’ve gone back to many times before. It’s about knowing your worth, shedding the skin you feel no longer fits, and digesting the freedom that comes with that. Mmmmm. It feels good.
What has the artist said about the music video?
In the video for “Skinnydipped,” my best friends and I are playing sirens. We’re all naked in a body of water, which felt really special. One of my best friends just had a baby, which comes with a lot of loaded body image issues for women, of course. I had her hold her daughter in the video. Having...
What have the artists said about the song?
There’s so much art in rhythms and the way you sing something, even just finding offbeats within a beat. With “Skinnydipped” I was really playing with that, and with the smoothness of how you can express something and then change it up within one sentence. You can play a lot with mood in how you del...
