Backstage Girl

[Verse 1]
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)

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
