Bruised
by Jack's Mannequin
I've got my things, I'm good to go
You met me at the terminal
Just one more plane ride and it's done.
We stood like statues at the gate
vacation's come and gone too late
There's so much sun where I'm from, I had to give it away
I had to give you away.
And we spent four days on an island at your family's old hotel.
Sometimes perfection can be..it can be perfect hell.
Hours pass and she still counts the minutes that I am not there
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this,
like every inch of me is bruised. Bruised..
And don't fly fast. Oh pilot can you help me,
can you make this last?
This plane is all I got
so keep it steady now, 'cause every inch you see is bruised..
I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
I take my pills, the babies cry
All I hear is what's playing through the in-flight radio
Now every word of every song I ever heard
that made me wanna stay
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
And I, I am finally waking up.
Hours pass and she still counts the minutes that I am not there
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this,
like every inch of me is bruised. Bruised..
And don't fly fast. Oh pilot can you help me,
can you make this last?
This plane is all I got
so keep it steady now, 'cause every inch you see is bruised..
So read your books but stay out late some nights..
And don't think that you can't stop by the bar.
You haven't shown your face here since the bad news.
I'm here 'till close with fingers crossed each night
'cause your place isn't far
And hours pass..
And hours pass.
She still counts the minutes that I am not there
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this,
like every inch of me is bruised. Bruised..
And don't fly fast. Oh pilot can you help me,
can you make this last?
This plane is all I got
so keep it steady now, 'cause every inch you see is bruised..

Bruised by Jack's Mannequin
I recently heard the acoustic version of this song, and it gave me goosebumps just seconds into it. I don't know why, but now I just feel like this song.

I love this song! This is my favorite from Jack's Mannequin, together with Dark Blue. I wish I could hear the acoustic version. >_< *tries to search for it*
