Third Eye Blind

Third Eye Blind - Tattoo Of The Sun lyrics

'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
