Thick Skin - Daniel Amos

I’ve opened a place in this simple song

It’s a little bit of space I’m leaving

Take your chances at first glances that you’ll get me all wrong

And cross out every word I’m singing

Or this could grow on you, my friend

Might not knock you down and drag you in

But it’s a place I can begin

To get under your antenna and your thick skin

How about a little wind in your perfect hair?

How about a little swim in my ocean?

I’m dreaming in and breathing in the metaphoric air

Designed to get your faith in motion

Well, this could grow on you, my friend

Might not knock you down and drag you in

But it’s a place I can begin

To get under your antenna and your thick skin

Working with precision on your thick skin

Making an incision in your thick skin

Creating some division in your thick skin

Carving words of wisdom in your thick skin

I’ve opened up a vein and let the ink get out

It’s dripping from the hand I’m moving

The mystery in you and me is what it’s all about

And true love is the scalpel I’ve been using

Yeah, this could grow on you, my friend

Might not knock you down and drag you in

But it’s a place I can begin

To get under your antenna and your thick skin

Under your antenna and your thick skin

Under your antenna and your thick skin
