lyrics

Youth is like a loose tooth
And I hold oceans inside me
But I decided to give you the kitchen sink instead

There’s boys and girls who hold my tongue
In between their teeth
And it’s lovely
At first, until the silence starts to fill your head

But oh, what could I have done
He holds me so close
And I know it should mean something
But I go numb
I go numb

The lines within his face feel like coming undone
But maybe I, maybe I’m
Just coming of age

And your parents showed you a love that just won’t keep
And there’s only certain melodies
To coax you out of your damp dark cage

But oh, what could I have done
He holds me so close
And I know it should mean something
But I go numb
I go numb

I will no longer lie
I will no longer lust
I will no longer cry
I will no longer trust
(Repeat)

Secret’s sewn into the seam
Fill you with dread
And you can’t spit out the fact that
The couple sleeps on separate sides of the bed
(Repeat)

Oh, what could I have done
He holds me so close
And I know it should mean something
But I go numb
I go numb

Age is just eye sockets and sore gums
And I hold whole galaxies inside of me
And I will let you see inside of me
But they’re mine to keep
Inside of me
