[Intro — whispered] Zip the smile. Set the chin. Half-turn. Hold. ... There you are. [Verse 1] Heel cuts clean across the floor Cuff straight, shoulder low I know which glance is meant to stay Which foot is meant to go Thumb on seam, jaw set tight Half-step, hold, release I know the room by little shifts Before they break the beat Then your scent arrives before you Before you cross the room My heel finds the taped floor mark My breath gets there too soon (too soon) [Pre-Chorus] No word No cue I turn before I choose 네 향기가 먼저 와 (ne hyanggiga meonjeo wa) One step Not two My shoulder answers you (answers you) [Chorus] SECOND SKIN COME CLOSE — NOT YET (hey!) SECOND SKIN ONE LOOK — BREAK CHARACTER (break it) Half-turn Hold it Don't close the space You shift your weight I change the pace SECOND SKIN COME CLOSE — NOT YET (second skin) [Post-Chorus / Dance Hook] Half-turn — freeze Shoulder low Stay there One more count 가까이 오면 숨이 달라져 (gakkai omyeon sumi dallajyeo) (ah — second skin) Your scent gets here before you My heel has already turned [Verse 2] Two rooms after you leave Your scent stays caught inside my cuff I lift my hand to pin my hair Stop halfway — let it drop The drums switch underneath me I enter half a breath late First crack in the choreography Nobody sees the break Across the doorway, your thumb Catches once against your sleeve You take one step toward me Then leave it incomplete Your gaze drops to my knuckles Holds one count, then lifts My heel comes off the floor— Then settles back again (again) [Pre-Chorus 2] No word No proof We both miss the cue 말보다 먼저 널 알아봐 (malboda meonjeo neol arabwa) One step Hold— ... No. Stay. [Chorus] SECOND SKIN COME CLOSE — NOT YET (hey!) SECOND SKIN ONE LOOK — BREAK CHARACTER Half-turn Hold it Don't close the space You shift your weight I change the pace SECOND SKIN COME CLOSE — NOT YET [Bridge — beat almost disappears] I know the room after you leave I know your scent inside my sleeve I know the step you almost took But I don't know the weight of your hand. (breath) 한 번도 느껴본 적 없는 네 손길이 그리워 ... Don't move. Come closer. [Dance Break] COME CLOSE (come close) NOT YET (not yet) HALF-TURN (freeze) BREAK CHARACTER (hey!) COME CLOSE HOLD ONE COUNT SECOND— SKIN (DROP) [Final Chorus] SECOND SKIN COME CLOSE — NOT YET SECOND SKIN ONE LOOK — BREAK CHARACTER No word No touch Still I turn before I see you I know the shape of almost 이번엔 한 걸음 더 와줘 (ibeonen han georeum deo wajwo) SECOND SKIN COME CLOSE — THIS TIME (closer) SECOND SKIN COME CLOSE — THIS TIME (don't stop there) [Outro — whispered] Half-turn. Hold. Your scent again. ... This time— I don't step back.
