Bruises Lyrics
Take this ride and this phone, run and go,
I wish that I could give you more, gonna have to break the law.
I've got more to give, then I first thought to give
We'll have to make a pact, or something like that.
Something good
A little trouble in your neighbourhood
or understanding that you're understood,
Oh I kinda wish you would.
Give yourself to the world, baby girl.
Spread your wings and uncurl to the world.
You've got more to give then you first thought to give,
We'll have to make a pact, or something like that.
Something good
A little trouble in your neighbourhood
or understanding that you're understood,
Oh I kinda wish you would.
Something real
another feeling that you never feel,
another reason that you wanna be alive
just to watch the bruises heal.

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think the first four verses of this song is about giving (or wanting to give) more than, or what you do have (in effort?) and wanting something more from your life (understanding that you're understood) or possibly some drama instead (a little trouble in your neighborhood).
"something real, another feeling that you never feel, another reason that you wanna be alive just to watch the bruises heal" -wanting to experience a feeling that you seldom or never feel; your motivation is that along the journey, you'll witness the bruises of your past heal through time/experience. Bruises can simply denote the pain that past experiences has inflicted on you, which limit you in some way.
