lyrics

Your lips taste just like lemons
Your hands smell just just like my mother's kitchen
Your skin is soft like linen
And your voice reminds me of a song I heard when I was 13 driving home from Michigan

So read me your favorite poem
For I love to hear your voice in the early morning
Sing me your favorite song
And I will try to learn the words so I can sing along

And I'll get a tattoo of a foreign country
While you get your father's name
And someday we'll go to the country
And visit your father's grave

Tell me a bedtime story
About a princess who looks just like
And a knight in shining armor
Has to save her from her mind her past knows how to find her

Your heart is gentle and used
My bones are broken and bruised
Sticks and stones will never harm
As long as you can hold me close in your arms

And I'll get a tattoo of a foreign country
While you get your father's name
And someday we'll go to the country
And visit your father's grave

Take me back to Michigan (x4)
