Bandage - I Hate This Place

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
