I could’ve let you in
Let you break the skin
Tired of comfort
Of what I’ve always been
What’s a body for
If not to be enjoyed
Nothing pure about me
That I wouldn't destroy
Could’ve been the subject
Of your color test
Had a big yellow sun
Be the star of my chest
Tattoo Regret (x2)
We could’ve just made love
Instead of mining the past
If I’d let you wander a little
Maybe you’d have come back
Could’ve kept my mouth shut
And heard what you had to say
Learned to show weakness
In a gentle way
Oh, weakness
Tied to regret
Slow to repent
Look out ahead
Learn to start again
You seek mystery
But I have only one direction in mind
South for the winter
Tonight I saw it for the first time
How you offer the East, West and North to me
In your arms I found
The quiet gift of another
Tied to regret
Slow to repent
Look out ahead
Learn to start again
