Audio + Lyrics - "Bandits" (The Mallett Brothers Band)

I don’t see a villain in this story, just people doing what they had to do

I don’t see a bad guy just the cold realities of me and you

It never feels like some old movie, there won’t be no shootout at high noon

All the good things and the bad are bound to catch up to me soon

We didn’t mean to hurt each other, we just could not get along

Maybe there’s a way that we could both make out like bandits

And I feel certain that you’re better off and probably I’m the same

Everybody points themselves into the sunset, no one has to lose the game


I know there’s evil and you’ve seen it, evil wouldn’t make you feel like this

I think we knew that it was hopeless but we just could not resist

This ending might not be such a tragedy, and I don’t think it’s ending here at all

I taught you how to get back up, and then you taught me how to break my fall

Did not mean to hurt each other, we just could not get along

Maybe there’s a way that we could both make out like bandits

And I feel certain that you’re better off and probably I’m the same

We could both just point ourselves into the sunset, no one has to lose the game
