The Killers – Bones Lyrics

The Killers · Sam's Town

Rock

Come with me
We took a back road
We're gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean
It's only water and sand
And in the ocean, we'll hold hands
But I don't really like you
Apologetically dressed in the best but on a heartbeat glide
Without an answer
The thunder speaks from the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones…
On your bones?
It's only natural
A cinematic vision ensued
Like the holiest dream
It's someone's calling?
An angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same:

"Wait till tomorrow, you'll be fine."
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind

I always hear them
When the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight

But they can never wrong this right
Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones…

On your bones?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin…
On your skin?
It's only natural.
(Never had a lover)
I never had a lover
(Never had soul)
I never had soul
(Never had a good time)
And I never had a good time
(Never got cold)
I never got cold

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones…
On your bones?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin…
On your skin?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones…
On your bones?
It's only natural.
Come and take a swim with me.
Don't you wanna feel my skin…
On your skin?
It's only natural.

This song is just so cool. In my opinion, it is about a person who desperately wants to lose her or his virginity, finally, getting deflowered and making love for the very first time in life: “Never had a lover (I never had a lover)”. And he or she doesn’t really care whether he likes and appreciates the person who’s about to deflower him: “But I don’t really like you”. He is tired of waiting and wants to experience physical love with another person at last: “An angel whispers my name, but the message relayed is the same: Wait till tomorrow, you’ll be fine. But it’s gone to the dogs in my mind”. Virginity is for angels, but physical attraction is for humans: “Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It’s only natural”. I think Brandon Flowers actually wrote a song about defloration or being deflowered. Great song!
