Stick And Poke Tattoo

Well, I went to the Atlantic

Chasing gigantic emotions

Though I didn't catch any

I already had plenty

So, I guess I'll find another ocean

Now I'm on the Pacific coastline

Nothing specific on my mind

Just looking at the water

Thinking love is a blunder

A wave

Or a spell

Or a swell

I'm stuck under

And the stick and poke tattoo bled blue

How's the one that I gave to you?

It was a straight line

To measure the time

That you've been alive

And now I cannot take the time back

Now I cannot take the line back

Now I'm in California

And I couldn't warn ya

Of its beauty

In the wild west

Filling up a treasure chest

And getting dirty

It's so dry

It makes me want to cry

Just for moisture

Oh, little girl

If you want to find your pearl

First find your oyster

And the stick and poke tattoo bled blue

How's the one that I gave to you?

Straight line

To measure the time

That you've been alive

And I cannot take the time back

You cannot take the line back

Well I went to the Atlantic

Chasing gigantic emotions

Though I didn't catch any

I already had plenty

So, I guess I'll find another ocean
