Ed Sheeran - Skeletons (Lyric Video) ♪ (Lyrics):

We took a bottle and a fight back to ours.

Six shots don't lead to sorry.

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

Don't want to make an

enemy of you.

And it breaks my heart with 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.

Cuz if you love me and you'd do

anything for me, put it off till the

morning.

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

Put it off till the morning.

Put it off, put it off.

Put it off, put it

Put it off, put it off.

Took a word to change the course all the night.

So a cliff and we kept driving.

He'd pouring gasoline onto the fire.

I don't want to make an enemy of you.

And it breaks my heart with 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.

Cuz if you love me and you'd do

anything for me, put it off till the

morning.

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

Put it off till

the morning.

Put it off, put it off.
