Let's get tattoos, you and me Let's get tattoos secretly Think about how cool we'll be Let's get tattoos A form of art as old as time Mine will by yours and yours will be mine I know a guy won't cost a dime Let's get tattoos Front of your thigh Back of your arm No one will know Won't cause any harm Soon I'll be covered in all of your charm What will they think of us back on the farm Let's get tattoos, you and me Let's get tattoos secretly Think about how cool we'll be Let's get tattoos It's not as if we're new to this I know every curve and you know every kiss There isn't one place I plan to miss Let's get tattoos Give me a smile I'll hold your hand We've come this far Let's stick to the plan Permanent ink where the sun doesn't tan Colors that won't wash away with the sand Let's get tattoos, you and me Let's get tattoos secretly Think about how cool we'll be Let's get tattoos

How can you sit there and smile When I'm over here on the floor I know it's been awhile But you didn't have to lock the door We talked about this You said we'd be fine The look on your face Says you're no longer mine Are things really how they seem Or is this only a dream She was the only one who knew Knew that we were meant to be I found out she wasn't through Taking you away from me We talked about this You said we'd be fine The look on your face Says you're no longer mine Are things really how they seem Or is this only a dream I can't believe she crept in through the back door I can't believe she's' the one that you fell for I can't believe, no I can't believe You don't love me no more We talked about this You said we'd be fine The look on your face Says you're no longer mine Are things really how they seem Or is this only a dream I can't believe she crept in through the back door I can't believe she's' the one that you fell for I can't believe, no I can't believe I can't believe she crept in through the back door I can't believe she's' the one that you fell for I can't believe, no I cannot believe You don't love me no more

Floodgate 03:06
The river has run dry No help from the rain No matter how I try I can't stop the pain Open up the floodgate Let me drown in your love Open up the floodgate I wanna drown in your love The sky has turned to brown The wind has come to stay The new day that's come dawning Is a broken yesterday Open up the floodgate Let me drown in your love Open up the floodgate I wanna drown in your love I can't find my way back from the bottom These memories won't let me sleep This restless joy knows no stopping They say as you sew shall you reap Tomorrow's come and gone And with it ran the sun We knew we had it wrong Still I'm glad you were the one Open up the floodgate Let me drown in your love Open up the floodgate I wanna drown in your love

Everybody has a little list they keep inside of their head Of every single thing they wanna do before they're old and they're dead You might wanna finish off your stamp collection Someone else will learn the Samba to perfection Me, I've only got a list of one single thing to do I need to go on a cruise I need to feel the wind blow Ride the waves to and fro Fill my days full of sun And my nights full of booze I need to go on a cruise I need a mansion in the country just to know I've arrived And I don't need a car that I can brag about to know I'm alive Just give me something big and white that floats on water Take me to an island where the nights are hotter Don't care where we sailing just as long as I am sailing with you I need to go on a cruise I need to feel the wind blow Ride the waves to and fro Fill my days full of sun And my nights full of booze I need to go on a cruise Tender to shore Try the local cuisine Or get your hair braided Catch the music scene Or stay on the ship and sleep the day away Don't care about tomorrow gonna live for today I bet they've got an exercise room that we can use on deck 4 Exactly like the one down at the office I don't use anymore Pick me up on Friday bring the sun tan lotion Drop me in a drink and I don't mean the ocean I'll be more than ready when we disembark so please don't refuse I need to go on a cruise I need to feel the wind blow Ride the waves to and fro Fill my days full of sun And my nights full of booze I need to go on a cruise On a cruise I need to go sailin' I need to go on a cruise

This picture tells a story of when You were someone I didn't know I'm glad I didn't know you then I'd have let you go How many nights behind those wall Still lost in history Echo out unanswered calls That should mean nothing to me But it made you who you are From what you used to be Time has carried you straight through to me Circling the city with a goal in mind Breathing in the air Falling short most of the time All for a story to share How many nights behind those wall Now lost in history Echo out unanswered calls That should mean nothing to me But it made you who you are From what you used to be Time has carried you straight through to me Hear the music in the street Hear the heart of a stranger beat You could be my home away from home How many nights behind those wall Still lost in history Echo out unanswered calls That should mean nothing to me But it made you who you are From what you used to be Time has carried you straight through to me

Across the room I see you there Smoke and love it fills the air I run my fingers through my hair Umbrella in hand Cafe de Flore some friends await It's always love that makes us late For now the wine will have to wait Umbrella in stand The rain slows down and warm the breeze Go into town the cafe please Our friends around no apologies And now the sound of laughter's ease The streets are ours to roam and walk We should stop by that small ink shop Until now we've been all talk Vite fait The rain slows down and warm the breeze Go into town the cafe please Our friends around no apologies And now the sound of laughter's ease Across the room I see you there Smoke and love it fills the air I run my fingers through my hair Umbrella in hand
