Stage-Diving to the End
by STEPHANIE
Lyrics
Verse 1
You crashed into my corner
Ripped jeans
Scribbled hands
Laughing at the teacher
Sleeping through the plans
Every girl was watching
Like you were on a screen
But you passed them in the hallway
Came and sat with me
Chorus
All the girls want you
But you walked my way
Held my shaking fingers
Told me
“we’ll run away”
We were front-row sacred
To your broken band’s sound
Now I’m screaming for an angel
Who’s six feet underground
Verse 2
You painted flames on your jacket
I drew hearts on your shoes
We skipped out on Sunday
Chasing our own truth
You kissed scars on my wrist
Said
“I know that war”
We shared cheap headphones
Slept on dusty floors
Chorus
All the girls want you
But you walked my way
Held my shaking fingers
Told me
“we’ll run away”
We were front-row sacred
To your broken band’s sound
Now I’m screaming for an angel
Who’s six feet underground
Bridge
[Drums drop to toms
Guitars pulsing]
You said you’d call me back
You said just “one more show”
I heard you in the bathroom
Fighting voices I don’t know
They fed you poisoned stories
Told you you were cursed
You believed every sentence
Left me here with the worst
Chorus
All the girls want you
And they still play your songs
But I’m staring at your poster
Asking what I did wrong
We were front-row sacred
’til your demons took your hand
Now I’m stage-diving to the end
And there’s no one left to stand
Outro
Now it’s just me
Baby
On this torn-up couch
Watch my world collapsing
Can’t even make a sound
You were my loud salvation
My one-man
Messed-up band
Now I’m clapping for the silence
With this ring in my hand
