Tanned
The younger one
Darkly tanned
Chewing gum
Mint on her mischievous tongue
Mingling with a taste of tin
On her gums
Each layer removed
Revealed a paler shade of skin
Each subtle shade
Felt like a secret shared
She was my reward
And I was hers.
The summer glazed our skin
But it scorched everything.
Ooohh
Tentative
Her body's outline
Spanish eyes
Captured by amber light
To nullify the alcohol
She kept her jeans on in bed
Her mother let me stay
After the disco made us deaf
'Cause we missed the final Metro
To the flat that she once let
She was my reward
And I was hers
The summer glazed our skin
And it torched everything.
Ooohh
Each layer removed
Revealed a paler shade of skin
Each subtle shade
Felt like a secret shared
She was my reward
And I was hers
The summer glazed our skin
But it scorched everything.
Ooohh
