Renee Rapp – Tattoos

I cannot get over this song. The first time I heard it, I had chills and wanted to cry. The rawness, the intimacy, and the tragedy intermix beautifully with her voice. It’s also gender neutral–we don’t know who she’s singing about but we’ve all been there.

If I’m being honest when you look at me it’s like kissing a million angels

and every tattoo’s so intoxicating from your neck and right down to your ankles

Fifteen and sixteen I had to be strong, twenty-two i’m still scared of it all

cuz i know some day i could wake up and you’ll be gone…and i’ll just be

Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep

Lonely, wishing…we’d never kissed in your backseat and that’s what scares me the most

knowing that you could just let me go

and i’ll just be… Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep.

getting kinda tired of turning pages

i hope you’re not the type to pull the same shit

cuz you could be like everyone i’ve dated

they don’t love me they just wanna see me naked

Fifteen and sixteen I had to be strong, twenty-two i’m still scared of it all

cuz i know some day i could wake up and you’ll be gone…and i’ll just be

Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep

Lonely, wishing…we’d never kissed in your backseat and that’s what scares me the most

knowing that you could just let me go

and i’ll just be… Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep.
