“Performing one of his newest songs, ‘Stitches’ is Sam Evans!” The audience clapped as the music started playing.

I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

[x3:]
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead

Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help (begging, "Baby, please.")
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

The audience clapped for him again and he grinned.

“I would have played the guitar but I kinda can’t, so...yeah.” He said, gesturing to his hand.

“I meant to ask you about that. How did you break it?”

“Me and Rachel went to the batting cages with my sisters.” He said.”Let’s just say she really sucks at baseball. I went in the cage with her to help her hit the ball, which we’ve done a couple of times, and she forgot that there was another ball in the machine and I went to high five her and the ball hit my hand in the right spot. Or spots, you could say, considering three of my fingers are broken and then this part of my hand,”He showed  her where,”Is fractured in like, three places.”

“You didn’t need surgery?” She asked.

“Thankfully no.”

“Well good. When we come back, we’re going to play a little game.” Sam grinned. After the commercial, the ‘walls’ opened up to show a huge version of pie in the face. Sam laughed.

“I love this game.” He said.

“Good. Now, you need a partner to play this game, correct?” Sam nodded, raising an eyebrow.”Well, we brought in a special guest. He judged you almost a year ago, which is why you’re here today.” Sam laughed as Nick walked out dramatically. Nick grinned and bro hugged him. One of the guys came from backstage and gave them both an Ellen jacket.

“Do you two know the rules?” She asked and they nodded, standing where they were directed, putting their face through the hole. Sam made a face and said,

“Well, my mouth matches my ears.” The ears on the plastic picture were huge. Everyone laughed.

“First question. Sam, can you spell your entire name backwards?” Sam made a face at her.

“Just my first name?” He asked. She nodded.”L-E-U-M-A-S.” He said.

“You could have just spelled Sam but I’ll give it to ya.” Sam rolled his eyes playfully.

“Nick, who sings ‘Fly Away’?”

“Uh, 5 Seconds of Summer?”

“Nope.” She spun the arrow and it landed on three. He smacked it three times.

“Sam, what is the name of this song and who sings it? ‘You watch me bleed until I can't breathe’.”

“Uh,”He made a show of thinking about it and said,”Stitches by me, duh.” Everyone laughed.”I expect a bunch of memes from you guys after this.” Sam told the people in the audience and the camera, which made them laugh again. She went to Nick and said,

“There’s no more questions.” Sam and Nick looked at each other and started whacking the button until the pie platter filled with whipped cream smashed into their face. Sam grinned and licked his lips, using his hands to wipe it off of his face and then eat it.

“I freaking love whipped cream.” He said, taking the towel offered and wiping his face along with Nick.

“Do you want mine?” Nick joked. Sam looked at him, the most ridiculous look on his face.

“Don’t go there, bro. Don’t go there.”
