brian dunne – new tattoo lyrics

Loading...

you got a new tattoo
and you bought a nice pair of shoes
to remind you who you used to be

when life was something brand new
‘cause now you sleep a little lighter at night
and you wake up when the sky gets light
and crawl into the kitchen at dawn
and tell yourself it’s alright

you swore you didn’t want strings attached
and to be tethered to the telephone
but now there’s no one here to talk to
and you prefer to sleep alone
all the chances that you couldn’t take
mistakes that you couldn’t afford to make
well what would it have cost you?

when you had a new tattoo
and you were only 22
you had a hole in your shirt
but there was nothing that you couldn’t do
now you’re standing in the vestibule
wondering how they got the best of you
now that you do your own laundry
now that there’s always something pressing you

you swore you didn’t want strings attached
and to be tethered to the telephone
but now there’s no one here to talk to
and you prefer to sleep alone
all them chances that you couldn’t take
mistakes that you couldn’t afford to make
oh and what would it have cost you?

well your dad is gonna cover away
and mom is gonna’ say it’s okay
when you call them every monday at 9
and tell them that it’s going fine
all your friends, they just exhaust you
you could’ve left, but where would you go off to?
oh, and what would it have cost you?

so you got a new tattoo
to make you feel something new
the sign of a cross on your thigh
and you don’t even really know why
but you’re hoping that it marks the end
of a time that you could just forget
so you call it a draw for the night
and you tell yourself it’s alright
