Backstage Girl

You might not know it but the first time that we met

In that little venue where it smells like cigarettes

I get the feeling if I was a little bolder

By the second set you'd probably end up on my shoulder

No way not today

Feeling like a drag in this conversation

I know you won't, as long as I don't

Fuck it all up talking bout my day

When there's a little more that I'd rather say to you

(Yeah)

You might not know it but the first time that we met

In that crowded room I'm usually leaving with regrets

I know I'm overthinking every little thing

I wish it was my band up there so you could hear me sing

How I wanna take you out tonight

And show you places and pretty lights

How I wanna make you my whole world

And show you off as my backstage girl

Show you off as my backstage girl

I think she's perfect but she only knows my name

But these things tend to happen when you've just begun the game

It will be funny when a few years down the line

She learns this song's about her, but still isn't mine

Crossing paths with you becomes the same story

Every time it happens as if it's mandatory

So show me something so I know I'm in the right

And I don't waste all of my stupid thoughts thinking of you every night

How I wanna take you out tonight

And show you places and pretty lights

How I wanna make you my whole world

And show you off as my backstage girl

Show you off as my backstage girl

If you've ever wondered where I stand

And what's at hand

Come on darling let me know

Show me something, don't let me go

One more time

You'll be mine

Cross my line

One more time

One more time

How I wanna take you out tonight

And show you places and pretty lights

How I wanna make you my whole world

And show you off as my backstage girl

Show you off as my backstage girl
