Tattoo Of The Sun

Third Eye Blind

I believe everything you say



'Cause you're not frightened



The way I've been



So I follow you



Just in case you lose your way



So glad you could let me stay around




The chain link fence you climbed



To make forbidden lakes our own



Yours and mine



And with the ease of sea gulls



We cut the engines and cruise high



In the summer sky




Now I could speak to everything



But there's no room for my voice



When sweet feedback is



Jumping through the hoop of your ear



Ring there goes the phone



And then you're off again



On what the caller brings




So I went and trashed myself at the bar



Confused for nothing thinking you'd be there



I'm so embarrassed 'cause it's you



Who comes to take care of me



Shambling home again with you to lead



And it's not the way I want to go




And I'm mad at you and I'm mad at me



Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say



Till your amber beads of wisdom come



And I want to write it down



Just the way you said it



So I could keep it always




I can't forget the smell



Of summer trees at midnight



Bending backwards to please the wind



You touch the tattoo of the sun



On a warm belly that once carried a baby for a while



Then let the cracked leather jacket round you fold



Red face saints monogrammed in gold



And in this beauty I would not go any further



'Cause I suddenly remembered



We can't live this way forever




Idle daylight



I've never caught you in a lie



Not until now



I feel somehow



The passing of these days gone by



What will
