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