Lyrics
have you let someone tattoo you half to death
cause i have, i have.
i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss the buzz
but i can't lose that much
i'm losing all my blood.
we all have regrets
and i lather up in mine
nobody knows why
it's 'cause i'm rather dry
spitting at you rum tongue at a party
sitting waiting for someone to ask me
if i love you
which i do
living with your entire history
fed up, i never liked a mystery
i know you
but do i know you?
if i could find the ashes in the sand
maybe i could begin to understand
how you can forget the best days of your life
how i can forget the worst days of my life.
we both languish on the floor
when we're in love
pick me up
cause i'm done
i never never mind, oh never mind
your pick me ups and lines.
oh never mind.
have you met someone who covered your tattoos?
well f*ck you.
f*ck you.
ditch to the safety of doorstep
wishing you'd notice that i had left you
or at least tried to
living with all your favorite songs
hearing them in my dreams
and you're golden
Would you just go then?
if i could find the ashes in the sand
maybe i could begin to understand
how you can forget the best days of your life
how i can forget the worst days of my life.
