"Accidental Tattoo" lyrics

"Accidental Tattoo"

If you listen past the words and make them about you
Cause that rings true
If you pick yourself a song
From the splinters of a storm
With your hands worn
You didn't feel the verse til later
Your stomach dropped like an elevator
Going down down down down down

As you sing along
And you float upon the wreckage of a poem
You are a love song

Thank you for listening
Especially if you had to disappear
Hitch your wagon to the unknown
With mixed results you don't know
What they'll sow, no
Spots and stripes your pleasure
Music as the measure
Let's split the check and let's get outta here

I cherish the scars balmed by you
Accidental tattoo
Proving love is the light and the might and the truth
Love is the light and the might and the truth

I cherish the scars balmed by you
Accidental tattoo
Proving love is the light and the might and the truth
Love is the light and the might and the truth

As you sing along
And you float upon the wreckage of a poem
You're a love song
Love is the light and the might and the truth
Love is the light and the might and the truth
Love is the light and the might and the truth
