Lyrics

She tells me the stories of all the tatoo's
Where she was and why
The dolphin for her first visit to the ocean and how she wants one when she turns thirty five
Got me thinking about my life and the places that I've been
The pain and the joy and the journey's traveled back and forth again
What are the milestones I would inscribe on my skin?

She tells me of an old love that's still around and how the ink covers him up and down
How she wishes she would have gotten one when her and Steve parted ways
But I'm sure that lost love has been inked on her heart since that day
Got me thinking about my life and the places that I've been
The pain and the joy and the journey's traveled back and forth again
What are the milestones I would inscribe on my skin?

One for the eyes, maybe a tear drop or two
One for the first love that I knew
So many memories, how to decide?
But that's all cool water under my bridge

Maybe your eyes can't see them
But my heart felt the needle sting
I am only twenty two
So I can't imagine the decals life has yet to bring
Got me thinking about my life and places that I've been
The pain and the joy and the journeys traveled back and forth again
What are the milestones I would inscribe on my skin?
