Matching scars, so tender to the touch
Oh we put ourselves through so much
But I know you’d like to see just how far
We’d have to go to get these matching scars
In the bars, New Jersey red lights
Factory stars down on the turnpike
Now there’s nothing wrong with loving from afar
But you gotta get close to get these matching scars
In my car, can’t seem to turn right
See your face at every stoplight
And would you wish upon a shooting star
If you knew you’d get a matching scar?
On the operating table
They exposed your hungry heart
Then they bruised and abused it
And convinced you it won’t start
Through the night, we been sleepwalking
Too many words, not enough talking
But one of us had to reach up for those stars
And now we both got these matching scars
