About

“Bruises” uses innocent images of childhood – doing handstands, getting bruised and grass-stained knees – to slyly hint at the emotional bruises that come from a sexual adult relationship. It is the first single from Does You Inspire You, Chairlift’s 2008 debut album.

Bruises Lyrics

[Verse 1: Caroline Polachek]
I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Every time I fell on you, yeah, every time I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But every time I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you

[Verse 1: Caroline Polachek]
I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Every time I fell on you, yeah, every time I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But every time I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue

[Chorus: Caroline Polachek]
For you-ooh
For you-ooh
So black and blue-ooh
For you-ooh

[Verse 2: Aaron Pfenning]
I grabbed some frozen strawberries
So I could ice your bruising knees
But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like
All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruising knees
Hot July ain't good to me
I'm pink and black and blue (For you)

[Verse 3: Caroline Polachek]
I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue
Got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue

[Chorus: Caroline Polachek]
For you-ooh
For you-ooh
So black and blue-ooh
For you-ooh

[Outro: Caroline Polachek]
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)
(Du, du, lu, du, lu, du, lu)

What did Chairlift say about "Bruises"?

Singer and co-writer Caroline Polachek on this song:

Being in love makes people do really silly things. Like write lyrics about frozen strawberries. We still can’t believe that the song that we tried to make sound like a long-lost TV song found its way into a TV commercial. Cool.
