Your Tattoo
Black and blue
Every time I lean into you
You think the words don't mean what they do
Killing me so slow
So it's home instead
Memorize your scars in the bed
Making me see stars in my head
Baby, you don't know
One rough summer and too much sun
The lines get blurry and the colors run
And the red bleeds out with the blue
Secret in the shape of the way it hurt
Planning an escape from beneath your shirt
Do you know I love your tattoo?
Your tattoo
Your tattoo
You were there
Little sparks and wire in the air
Everything on fire everywhere
Punishment and crime
Black and white
It's keeping me up late every night
Thinking I can't wait, but I might
Everything in time
Gray gives way to the deepest black
Promises you made and can't take back
When you look too long, you see through
Falling over on the edge where the ink is thin
Coming up close against your skin
Do you know I love your tattoo?
Your tattoo
Your tattoo
Every time I lean into you
You think the words don't mean what they do
Killing me so slow
So it's home instead
Memorize your scars in the bed
Making me see stars in my head
Baby, you don't know
One rough summer and too much sun
The lines get blurry and the colors run
And the red bleeds out with the blue
Secret in the shape of the way it hurt
Planning an escape from beneath your shirt
Do you know I love your tattoo?
Your tattoo
Your tattoo
You were there
Little sparks and wire in the air
Everything on fire everywhere
Punishment and crime
Black and white
It's keeping me up late every night
Thinking I can't wait, but I might
Everything in time
Gray gives way to the deepest black
Promises you made and can't take back
When you look too long, you see through
Falling over on the edge where the ink is thin
Coming up close against your skin
Do you know I love your tattoo?
Your tattoo
Your tattoo
