Crooked Teeth

Candle wax on the carpet, can't get you out Of the part of my brain that I can't pronounce You keep my head in the clouds like you're heaven-sent As an atheist cynic, I take offence I put a stake in the ground, fired up a flare Undid all of your knots like a Baudelaire Showed you parts of me I thought were gone You took apart the thing between my lungs And I adore you, wanna be your best friend Wanna rip up the horoscopes, take the stars and rearrange them Dig your past up and dig my nails into your skin Let my body capsize 'cause I love the way you pull me in Oh, I see winter, I summer See my hand in your hand, see me as a mother Love's cruel like a prom queen to the kid with the crooked teeth But if you keep me smiling, I swear that I'll never leave Ooh Ooh Oh, I know I've got many coats And I'll go wherever the wind blows (ah) Darling, I'm a perennial I'll come back every time that I go Tell me, what have I done (oh) To give myself up like this for someone? Won't you hold me like the sun? (Oh) Light up my eyes in the dark, watch as I slowly turn 'Cause I adore you, wanna be your best friend Wanna rip up the horoscopes, take the stars and rearrange them Dig your past up and dig my nails into your skin Let my body capsize 'cause I love the way you pull me in Oh, if I ever lose my sanity You'll be the voice that'll bring me right back to me Love's cruel like a prom queen to the kid with the crooked teeth But if you keep me smiling, I swear that I'll never leave I'd burn at the stake, I would change my old ways for you, dear I wanna live in a house that you build with your hands, so if you disappear Darling, you'd still be holding me, you'd still be around Strong like the walls standing tall in the ground And I'd look out the window, down by the lake We're Noah and Allie out in the rain You're the look in the hallway, losing my cool The face in my locker, the tears in the bathroom Love's cruel like a prom queen To the kid with the crooked teeth Love's cruel like a prom queen To the kid with the crooked teeth
