Black Tattoo

You, muscling through the crowd so gently
I know you see me, I know you see me
Circling your name
Pasting your face in my frame
Passing you all of my fries
You're not capable of telling lies, you tell me
Everything I wanna know

And in the glistening sand you hold me
And I'm in overalls, we're gonna hit the ocean
And I watch you splash around
Gentlest smile I ever found
When you whisper in my ear you don't tell me
Everything I wanna hear, you just tell me
What it is I oughtta know

Black tattoo blooming
'Cross your arm but not moving
Flecks of pink paint on your skin
And I wonder where you were before
But it doesn't matter anymore

After the double birthday party
When we were in bed
I played a song for you
And then you pulled me in
Cue the tiny violins
And the little butterflies
Guess my heart is yours to burglarize
So come on in and steal everything

Black tattoo blooming
'Cross your arm but not moving
Flecks of pink paint on your skin
And I wonder where you were before
But it doesn't matter anymore
