Lyrics

Birthmark

[Intro]

Yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

[Verse 1]

I made the mark on February 1st

Between me and you, you can call it birth

The beginning of our universe

Remind me of Alicia Keys verse

I'm falling for you

I wish I had an opportunity to not do

What I did to hurt you

And now I'm here living with regrets

I know that it was my fault

I know that I got caught

So please don't lose your thoughts

Of me loving you and you loving me

I'm on the highway swerving

I ain't drunk but I'm about to hit the curb'n

Looking at the calendar getting nervous

Just a few more days to the first soul

This the day it all began

One place that it came together

More than a ring or a tattoo

Wish your birthmark that reminds me of you

So let's get on an airplane

Go back to where we began

To that point which is days apart

That stamp right next to your heart

[Chorus]

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart

[Verse 2]

Get the calendar, go to August 3rd

First words stay, we heard our first words

First argument gotta let it go

Cause it could possibly affect what our future holds

Flipping pages now famous

Thinking back I ain't seen you in ages

Wishing that I coulda made it less painless

Brings me back right back to the same as

I know that it was my fault

I know that I got caught

So please don't lose your thoughts

Of me loving you and you loving me

I'm on the highway swerving

I ain't drunk but I'm about to hit the curb'n

Looking at the calendar getting nervous

Just a few more days to the first soul

This the day it all began

One place that it came together

More than a ring or a tattoo

Wish your birthmark that reminds me of you

So let's get on an airplane

Go back to where we began

To that point which is days apart

That stamp right next to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart

January, February, March, April, May

June, July, August is just another day

September, October, November trying to find a way

In December to mark my calendar to meet again

If only we can go to that place where me and you know

There's no faith fronting cheating even lying

The time has come where we stand face to face

This the day it all began

One place that it came together

More than a ring or a tattoo

Wish your birthmark that reminds of you

So let's get on an airplane

Go back to where we began

To that point which is days apart

That stamp right next to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart

That stamp right next to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart, to your heart

To your heart

That stamp right next to your heart
