Lyric discussion by summermakegood 

Can anyone explain me the sentence 'Your skin is something that I stir into my tea'? I think is an extremely romantic sentence, but a lot of people I know don't get it (they take it litteraly). So, can anyone explain? The minute I saw that line, i had to think about milk. (a milk white skin, you can stir milk into your tea, although here in Belgium, we stir it into our coffee) Please help.

If you put full-fat milk into your tea, sometimes a 'skin' will form on the surface as the milk reacts to the heat. I always used to fish it out with a teaspoon, because eew, but my parents would stir it back into the tea. It had a puckered look, and depending on how strong you like your tea could certainly resemble human skin.

(Fortunately I switched to semi-skimmed years ago and haven't seen it since.)
