New Tattoo - James Arthur

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

I wear you like a new tattoo

The design, the desire, I don’t wanna remove

You’re the kind of thing that I could love forever

I wear it like a new tattoo

And I’ll be so happy that I’m stuck with you

And we cannot deface in any weather

Do you ever look in the mirror

And not know who you are, or know where you going

Well, I’ve been that boy

For what feels like 500 years

Now I’m finally finding me

Before today, I didn’t know if I’d make it

But now it’s all making sense

I wear you like a new tattoo

The design, the desire, I don’t wanna remove

You’re the kind of thing that I could love forever

I wear it like a new tattoo

And I’ll be so happy that I’m stuck with you

And we cannot deface in any weather

And I was so lost, and I was so lost, in this world

With no place, and no purpose, no

Blowing up, and I will get bigger, never high

Run a fire, the harder we’ll love

I wear you like a new tattoo

The design, the desire, I don’t wanna remove

You’re the kind of thing that I could love forever

I wear it 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
