Letra Skinny Love

Skinny Love es una canción de la banda estadounidense Bon Iver, escrita por Justin Vernon, el único miembro constante del grupo. La canción habla sobre una relación frágil y fallida, utilizando la metáfora Skinny Love para representar un amor insuficiente que no puede sostener a las personas involucradas. Vernon escribió la canción después de una ruptura y la grabó durante un período de aislamiento en una cabaña en el norte de Wisconsin.

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; slow on the split
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall
far behind?
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall
far behind?
