third eye blind
tattoo of the sun
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 you do when the feeling  That you have is through   I need to know  'Cause I'll never stop hanging on to you  And it's times like this that I dread  When there's everything to say  And nothing left  To be said
