about

Under My Skin is a song about the ache of mixed signals and the quiet pull of illusion. It’s about falling for the fantasy instead of facing the truth in someone’s actions, returning to a love that isn’t right, simply because the longing is louder than reason. It captures the moments when desire drowns out clarity, and the heart chooses what the mind already
knows it shouldn’t. Sonically, it’s what we’ve come to expect from Carrie, nostalgic and soul-driven, with a backdrop of warm, 90s-style drums that anchor the track.

lyrics

Finally, I’m comin round
N I’m gunning for all of your
Chemistry, Clarity, some of it, all of it, everything
Say what it is , what do you mean
Stop dancing around me , I want honesty, integrity
I approach so carefully when I (oh)
Take it off, put it back on rewind
Kiss you up, put you down, change my mind
Lemme get , all of this
Run it back one more time


Now your Lovin it, all of me, lovin you, the way it feels
When your around
When you around me
Seeing it, all of you, lovin me
Now you’ve gotten under my skin
Under my skin

All consuming, I endure
You could walk if you wanna
No fantasy, or energy, I want none of it, silence it, send it off
You speak your mind, with your hands
Im not asking but your
giving me, complexity
And I talk to so tenderly when I
Take it off, put it back on rewind
Kiss you up, put you down change my mind
Let me get all of this
Run it back one more time

Now your Lovin it, all of me, lovin you, the way it feels
When your around
When you around me
Seeing it, all of you, lovin me
Now you’ve gotten under my skin
Under my skin


Don’t have me wait on it
Don’t have me wait

Run it back one more time

Now your Lovin it, all of me, lovin you, the way it feels
When your around
When you around me
Seeing it, all of you, lovin me
Now you’ve gotten under my skin
Under my skin
