Tattoo - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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

It may be silly, but it’s one way to your heart

We had a good run, 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
