Cut Your Teeth is the eleventh and final track off Maybe There’s No Heaven, Short Stack’s fifth LP. The epic closer to the album wraps up the central theme of the album: Saying goodbye to a relationship.
[Intro]
I don’t know what I’m thinking
I let my body wind up cold
And when I’m done with drinking
I think I might just head up home tonight
So when you coming home?
[Verse 1]
And I still know your number
I call the sweetest voice I’ve heard
Yet, I cannot reply or still deny
The love that you deserve tonight
So what do you deserve?
[Pre-Chorus]
The radio is playing songs I used to know
I cut myself to pieces ‘cos I shouldn't have let you go
So why the hell you waiting up for me?
[Chorus]
I know what you think
Where you’d rather be
I wish you were here
Lying next to me
I’m a world away
I cut till I bleed
I wish you were here
Lying next to me
[Verse 2]
So I don’t try and fight it
I’ve always hated coming clean
This love is ultra-violent
It hits me like a guillotine tonight
So take me as you please
[Pre-Chorus]
The radio is playing songs I used to know
I cut myself to pieces ‘cos I should’ve let you go
You want a boy like Jesus?
How the fuck was I to know?
To keep those little secrets
You were never meant to sow
So why the hell you waiting up for me?
[Chorus]
I know what you think
Where you’d rather be
I wish you were here
Lying next to me
I’m a world away
I cut till I bleed
I wish you were here
Lying next to me
[Bridge]
’Til we meet again
Cut your teeth on him
And tell me that you got me on your mind
Yeah, I still think about you all the time
’Til we meet again
Cut your teeth on him
And tell me that you got me on your mind
Yeah, I still think about you all the time
[Outro]
Until we meet again
Cut your teeth on him
And tell me that you got me on your mind
Yeah, I still think about you all the time
Until we meet again
Cut your teeth on him
And tell me that you got me on your mind
Yeah, I still think about you all the time
Until we meet again
Cut your teeth on him
And tell me that you got me on your mind
Yeah, I still think about you all the time
