Crooked Teeth

Candlewax 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 see summer
See your hand in my 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
Oh, I know I've got many coats
And I'll go wherever the wind blows
Oh darling, I am a perennial
I'll come back every time that I go
Tell me what have I done
To give myself up like this for someone
Won't you hold me like the sun
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 woah, if I ever lost 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, oh I'd change my old ways for you, dear
Wanna live in a house that you built with your hands, so if you disappeared
Darling, you'd still be holding me, you'd still be around
Strong like the walls standing tall in the ground
And I 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
A 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
