Purple Bandana

(Intro)
I saw you at the park in your purple bandana
Swinging with the kids on 4th of July

(Musical intro 4 measures)

I asked you your name 
you told me to guess
I said beautiful 
you started to cry

You laughed and then tilted 
your head to the side
I asked what you were doing here
you told me a lie

(Pre Chorus)
I know we’re not together
I can’t get enough
Just to be around you 
You keep calling my bluff
It seems like coincidence 
It’s part of the plan
I’d give up everything if I could be your….

(Chorus)
Man I wish it turned out different
Man I wish I changed your mind
Man I should’ve fought like hell for you
Instead of running out of time

Man I’d trade every second
Man I’d redraw every line
Man I wish it turned out different
Man I wish that you were still mine

(Verse 2)
You drew little lines in the dirt with your shoe
Like you didn’t wanna say what we both knew
I asked if you’re happy, you said “I’m alright”
But your voice didn’t sound like it used to that night

The fireworks lit up your face in red
I wondered if he hears the things I said
You looked at your phone, then back at me
Like we were standing where we shouldn’t be

⸻

(Pre Chorus 2)
I know I don’t have you
But I don’t let go
I’m stuck in the echo
Of what we both know
It feels like the universe
Twisting the knife
Letting me see you
But not in my life

(Chorus)
Man I wish it turned out different
Man I wish I changed your mind
Man I should’ve fought like hell for you
Instead of running out of time

Man I’d trade every second
Man I’d redraw every line
Man I wish it turned out different
Man I wish that you were still mine

Still mine

Man I wish you were still
Mine
