New Tattoo

(album: James Arthur - 2013)

Under my skin, beneath my fingertips
You slip and slide away
Let me begin to understand how you operate in such a calculated way
Before today, I didn't know if I'd make it,
But now it's all making sense

Oh, oh

I wear you like a new tattoo
The design, a desire I don't wanna remove
You're the kind of thing that I could love forever
I wear you like a new tattoo
And I'll be so happy that I'm stuck with you
And we cannot deface in any weather

Da, da, da, da

And do you ever look in the mirror
Oh, and not know who you are, or know where you going

Oh, oh

Well, I've been that boy, for what feels like five hundred years
Now I'm finally finding me.
Oh, and before today
I didn't know if I'd make it
But now it's all making sense

Oh, oh

I wear you like a new tattoo
The design, a desire I don't wanna remove
You're the kind of thing that I could love forever
I wear you like a new tattoo
And I'll be so happy that I'm stuck with you
And we cannot deface in any weather, any weather, any weather

Da, da, da, da

And I was so lost, and I was so lost in this world
With no place, and no purpose,
Now I'm blowing up, and I will get bigger,
Never hide from the fight, got the heart of a winner

I wear you like a new tattoo
The design, a desire I don't wanna remove
You're the kind of thing that I could love forever

I wear you like a new tattoo
And I'll be so happy that I'm stuck with you
And we cannot deface in any weather

Da, da, da, da
