tattoo

I’ve never been tattooed
No reason to put one on. Like a favorite song
I tend to wimp out and never go through
And everyday I see
All the pretty girls around me
And all their tattoos and many questions they receive
I wish I was a tattoo
So I’d know I meant something to you
I want to be the words written down your side
I want to be the secret you have to hide
I’d settle for the one you’d rather erase
But I’d rather be the flowers wrapped around your waist
I want to be the arrow, the heart, the name
I’d even be the cover-up to hide your shame

I wish I was a tattoo, so I’d know I meant something to you
So I’d know I meant something to you
I wish it could be so black and white
A moment in time you remember for life
I want to start conversations that wouldn’t otherwise
Encourage you to roll up your sleeves all night
I want to be the reason fingers meet
I want to catch tears rolling down your cheek

I wish I was a tattoo, so I’d know I meant something to you
So I’d know I meant something to you
It may be silly, but it’s one way to your heart
We had our good fun, but it’s time for us to part
It’s times like these, that sends me to my knees
And wish I was a tattoo, so I’d know I meant something to you
So I’d know I meant something to you
