Black Tattoo

A little hint of summer shining through
Pouring from a window bathed in blue
And I can't stand the rain and the snow
This time I should be letting go
(Chorus)
You shook me all night
I slept 'till daylight
And now I'm bleeding black and blue
It's time to go now
Burnt hearts will leave you
Your name is now a black tattoo
From me to you
The president warned me about you
And all those little things you like to do
I just painted my windows black
One minute from no turning back
(Chorus)
From me to you
From me to you yeah
Hey! from me to you
Hey!
