Skeleton Lyrics by Lisa Loeb

A Simple Trick to Happiness

2019

[Verse 1]
If I'm gonna be honest
You're not the one to tell
Put it in my pocket
I'll keep it to myself
I wish you cared
At least you played it well
You got me

[Verse 2]
In all the silence
I tend to make things up
You think I'm static
You think I think too much
You keep your distance
You keep it just enough
You got me

[Chorus]
If we meet as friends again
Can we pretend we were something then?
Tell your new friends where we've been
That we're not just skeleton
That we're not just skeleton

[Verse 3]
What really happened?
Not what the pictures showed
So much they haven't
So much we never told
It used to feel
Like we could rule the world
You and me

[Chorus]
If we meet as friends again
Can we pretend we were something then?
Tell your new friends where we've been
That we're not just skeleton
That we're not just skeleton

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh
Don't want to be a stranger
Don't want to be a memory
Don't want to be a bother
Just wanted you to know
I care

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
If we meet as friends again
Can we pretend we were something then?
Tell your new friends where we've been
That we're not just skeleton (Ooh)
That we're not just skeleton (Ooh)
That we're not just skeleton (Ooh)
Ooh-ooh, skeleton
Ooh-ooh, skeleton
