"Bags Of Bones" lyrics

"Bags Of Bones"

We bonded over broken bones
Whose broke skin
Whose fractured in two places
And whose hurt the most

We bonded over broken bones
How many Vicodin we took before bed
How many we sold to the band sleeping on our floor
Week one of a two week tour
My God knows they'll need it more than I

You and me and an X-ray machine
I swear that day you saw straight through me

We're two bags of bones broken and talking
Of people we both know in common
Amongst other things that I shouldn't mention

You and me
A hospital loveseat
If only these broken bodies were ours forever
