I’m letting you go out of my hands up into the sky away from me

I was twenty-four years old when I moved out to the coast that’s how the story goes

Like an old tie that I used tie pictures of a car that you used to drive

 passion that fades, turns to shadows in our eyes

it’s all that you can see

Keep me on your sleeve

Keep me on your sleeve

Keep me on your sleeve

Like a tattoo that stars to fade

You regret it then you love it anyway

Dreams that we had they found us in the end

All the pages I turned blew away in the end

Now the ink is dry it all left a mark on me

Now wherever I go I feel I’m losing my sould

From when living was easy and natural

It’s the medicine that heals I remember how it feels

When we all had room to breathe

Keep me on your sleeve

Keep me on your sleeve

Keep me on your sleeve

Like a tattoo that stars to fade

You regret it then you love it anyway

You know a heart is going to wander you can’t slow it down

All the damage that’s done is the grace I’ve found

Like a picture of us in the warmth of the sun when we were twenty-two

There are times I swear I swear that you knew

We’re only here for a while and that’s the hard truth

Regrets are desires that couldn’t save

Like a summer dress that’s started to fray

Keep me on your sleeve

Keep me on your sleeve

Keep me on your sleeve

Like a tattoo that stars to fade

You regret it then you love it anyway
