Bandage

[Verse 1: Sean Nerney]
She flew from a small town with her big dreams
Of the bright lights in the city
She crashlanded in the neon sea at low tide
And he was a nice guy, though he tried
Lived his whole life on the B-side
Yeah the playback never seemed right 'til she found him

[Chorus: Gayle Nerva]
She said, "Hey there
I don't think I can manage
My wings might be broken
Could you be my bandage here?
Only you see
All my scars are showing
Darling, I can't stand this
Could you be my bandage here?"

[Verse 2: Sean Nerney]
'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 spotlight
I grew dark and drawn and jaded

[Chorus: Gayle Nerva & Sean Nerney]
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"

[Bridge: Gayle Nerva]
If all my scars were showing
Then 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?

[Verse 3: Sean Nerney]
In the darkness, in these headphones
He plays so loud 'cause he's alone
Tryna drown out the set ending for a love song
Watch his demons dance around him
Got the beat now that they found them
He couldn't heal her, it'd just hurt more than it sounded

[Chorus: Gayle Nerva & Sean Nerney]
She said, "Hey there
Can we talk this over?
It's not the way I planned it
You were just my bandage here
Only you'd see
These scars don't get better
You don't understand this
You were just my bandage here
My bandage"

[Outro: Sean Nerney]
She flew from a small town with her big dreams
Of the bright lights in the city
Oooh oh oh
