The lyrics of 'Skeletons', by Ed Sheeran

After the afterparty

Took a bottle and a flight back to us, hum

Six shots don't lead to sorry

We know how it's gonna end, but why did it start?

Don't wanna make an enemy of you

And it breaks my heart

We're digging up old skeletons at two

When our bodies could be

Making the most of our time in this bedroom

Put a pin in this tonight, I, I

'Cause if you love me and you'd do anything for me

Put it up until the morning, ah-ah

The truth can get distorted, and we forget what's important

Put it up until the morning, ah-ah

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up

We know how to stick the knife in

Took a word to change the course of the night, hum

Saw a cliff and we kept driving

Here pouring gasoline onto the fire

Don't wanna make an enemy of you

And it breaks my heart

We're digging up old skeletons at two

When our bodies could be

Making the most of our time in this bedroom

Put a pin in this tonight, I, I

'Cause if you love me and you'd do anything for me

Put it up until the morning, ah-ah

The truth can get distorted, and we forget what's important

Put it up until the morning, ah-ah

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up

(Put it up)

(Put it up)

(Put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up (put it up)

Put it up, put it up
