Coins on Her Skin
Lyrics
Verse 1
Angel on the run
bare feet in the dust
They put that weight on her
and called it justice
No love for the law
they booked her with a grin
Drug mule on paper
but the truth was pinned in
Rare coins on her skin
cold metal at her side
One wrong pat-down
and the whole lie dies
Compound gates behind her
dogs biting at the air
She don't trust a face
she don't trust a prayer
Pre-Chorus
One more fence
one more breath
Hear that blood in her chest
He got eyes like smoke
and a mouth full of debt
Still he says, "Run with me"
like he means what's next
Chorus
Don’t let me fall
don’t let me fall
Angel, don’t let me fall
(angel, don’t let me fall)
He’s too dark
too hard
too full of scars
but my heart won’t stop
(my heart won’t stop)
Don’t let me fall
don’t let me fall
Angel, don’t let me fall
(angel, don’t let me fall)
Verse 2
He was waiting by the road
with a busted-up truck
Said, "I know what they do"
and she almost said, "Shut up"
Too many secrets
in that crooked little smile
But killers on her heels
make you trust for a while
International felon
with fortune in his shade
Coins from a stolen empire
wrapped up in her fate
She remembers every hand
that left her in the cold
Now this dark man reaches out
and she can't let go
Pre-Chorus
One more lie
one more sign
She can feel the deadline
If he’s playing her
then he’s playing blind
Still he says, "Run with me"
and she follows the line
Chorus
Don’t let me fall
don’t let me fall
Angel, don’t let me fall
(angel, don’t let me fall)
He’s too dark
too hard
too full of scars
but my heart won’t stop
(my heart won’t stop)
Don’t let me fall
don’t let me fall
Angel, don’t let me fall
(angel, don’t let me fall)
Bridge
If the dogs get close
if the smoke gets low
If the whole world points
she still won’t fold
He says, "Tell me the truth"
she says, "I got none to give"
Two broken people
trying hard to live
Then the backseat shakes
and the night turns red
She grips those coins
and she trusts his hands
Final Chorus
Don’t let me fall
don’t let me fall
Angel, don’t let me fall
(angel, don’t let me fall)
He’s too dark
too hard
too full of scars
but my heart won’t stop
(my heart won’t stop)
Don’t let me fall
don’t let me fall
Angel, don’t let me fall
(angel, don’t let me fall)
Don’t let me fall
don’t let me fall
Angel, don’t let me fall
(angel, don’t let me fall)
