lyrics

Put a bandage on the scrape
Peroxide washes the germs away
Tears and kisses on the face
They help alleviate the pain

It was easy to be resilient on the outside
You just get back on that bike
Harder with the things that can be kept in the dark
I can open my hands but can I open my heart?

You’ll find evidence if you map out the scars
Of living soul and beating heart
I used to know my enemies like I knew the pavement
Hitting my knees

It’s not sticks and stones, it’s words
And it’s not broken bones
It’s love that hurts

Living is messy business if you’re doing it right
I want to go to bed with my feet dirty tonight
And loving is gonna hurt you but I think it’s worth the price
Like grass stains on my jeans and a ruined bike
