‘Marks’ is a groovy heavy track; tackling the subject of making a loved one see the beauty in something they think is flawed, when in fact, it’s the flaws themselves that make the object beautiful. Whether its the small red wine spill on the carpet from your first night in your new home; or the slig...
[Verse 1]
Let me stop you there
And put your mind to ease
Arrest your soul
With a warm embrace
[Verse 2]
Let me stop you there
‘Cause things aren’t as bad they seem
There’s comfort that remains
In scuffed marks and wine stains
Scattered across the walls
Even though tattered and old, mmm!
[Chorus]
But I wish you could see
(it just takes some time, it just takes time)
That they’re more than marks to me!
(It just takes some time, it just takes time)
I wish you could see
(it just takes some time, it just takes time)
That they’re more than marks to me!
(It just takes some time, it just takes time)
[Verse 3]
Like kindred spirits
Just fumbling through
And when the dark tides over
We’ll start anew
Ooohhh shared little moments
Drenched in candlelight
And with the scent of the roses
The wax will expose our tired eyes
[Chorus]
But I wish you could see
(it just takes some time, it just takes time)
That they’re more than marks to me!
(It just takes some time, it just takes time)
I wish you could see
(it just takes some time, it just takes time)
That they’re more than marks to me!
(It just takes some time, it just takes time)
[Post Chorus]
It just takes a little time
Just have a little patience love!
[Outro]
This little home
Put up a fight
As sober thoughts
Grew stronger in the night
On the bed we made
That scratched the floors
And chipped the walls
As we pushed it through the doors
That barely let us in
Beside our multitude of sins
That barely let us in
Beside our multitude...
Of sins
