Lyrics

Tattoo

I hear you talking in my head like the voices of the dead,
And I analyse each word.
Do you know me anymore? It's not as if you did before,
Or as if we know ourselves.

We're gonna be happy, we're gonna be free,
But you'll never be happy without me.
All the things we say and do mark us with a life tattoo,
And I'll never be happy without you.

I feel I'm walking on broken glass, like nothing good can ever last,
Or nothing promised can be true.
We're turning into something new in everything we say and do,
In the marks of each tattoo.

We're gonna be happy, we're gonna be free,
But you'll never be happy without me.
All the things we say and do mark us with a life tattoo,
And I'll never be happy without you.

You made me and I made you,
You put the lines on my face and I did the same for you.
You claimed me from out of the wilderness,
And I'm tracing the lines in my soul
That will take me back to you.
All the meanings and moments and love
In our invisible tattoos.

We're gonna be happy, we're gonna be free,
But you'll never be happy without me.
All the things we say and do mark us with a life tattoo,
And I'll never be happy without you.
