She flew from a small town
With her big dreams
Of the bright lights
In the city.
She crash-landed
In the neon sea at low tide
And he was a nice guy
Though he tried
Lived his whole life
On the beside
Yeah the playback
Never seemed right
Til she found him
She said:
"Hey there
I don't think I can manage.
My wings might be broken
Could you be bandage here?
Only you see
All my scars are showing.
Darling, I can't stand this.
Could you be my bandage here?"
Cause I'd fake all
That the world takes
And I'd take all
That the world fakes
For just one chance
To be more than
Something faded
But to live more
Than life could give
Had to give more so I could live
In the spot light
I grew dark and drawn and jaded.
You said:
"Hey there
I know that you are hurting.
Darling, don't you panic
I can be your bandage here.
And I don't care
If all your scars are showing
We're all a little damaged
I could be your bandage here."
If all my scars were showing
My heart can't keep on holding
Holding on to what is so fast
Never knowing if it would last
If it'd mean our lights were fading
Would you be the one who's saving
Saving me?
In the darkness
In the sad phones
He plays so loud
Cause he's alone
Trying to drown out
The set ending for a love song
Watch his demons
Dance around him
Got the beat now
That they've found them
He couldn't heal her
It'd just hurt more than it sounded
He said:
"Hey there,
Can we talk this over?
It's not the way I planned it
You were just my bandage here.
Only you see,
These scars don't get better.
You don't understand this
You were just my bandage here."
My bandage
She flew from a small town
With her big dreams
Of the bright lights
In the city
Oooh-oh-oh
