Five Tattoos
Ella Henderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So close, but it ain't where I wanna be
And I'm lovin' every minute of your company
But have I read this so wrong
Maybe I moved too fast
Or maybe I missed a sign
But baby this could last
You are my one and only
My blue skies and grey
You are the only one for me
Brown eyes, with your old woolly hat
Five tattoos from your shoulders to your hands
You can give me what I have never had
Boy you keep leading me on
But maybe I move too fast
Or maybe I missed a sign
But baby this could last
You are the one thing on my mind
You are my one and only
My blue skies and grey
You are the only one for me
Ooh
Tight jeans with a rip on the knee

She describes this person as someone with tight jeans and a rip on the knee, whom she finds attractive and enjoys spending time with, but ultimately questions whether they are right for each other. She wonders if she moved too fast or missed signs that this relationship may not be the best for her, but still holds onto the hope that it could last. She also mentions the physical attributes of this person, such as their brown eyes and five tattoos from their shoulders to their hands, which only adds to her attraction to them.
The song embodies the experience of being emotionally conflicted about someone whom one may think is not the right match, yet still is pulled in their direction. The lyrics reflect the uncertainty of navigating these emotions, while still hoping that the relationship could work out in the end. Henderson captures the feeling of being vulnerable and invested in a relationship, while trying to make sense of the circumstances that come with it.
