[Verse 1]
I'm wide awake and you're
Still sleeping on your side
Dreaming of bigger rooms
Last night's conversation
We talked until I cried
What if I'm never enough for you
[Pre-Chorus]
And even though we'll wake up, make up
Always come back around
Even though we're tired, I would do it again
[Chorus]
But I never wanna see you pulling teeth
Or baring yours to bite me
Does it hurt that bad to love me?
And I only ever say the things I mean
Left to my devices
Weaponizing kindness
[Verse 2]
The windows let the light in
It falls across your shouldеrs
And I forget why I feel cold
One more kiss and I'll lеave you
With no trace left behind
And feel sick the whole way home
[Pre-Chorus]
It's only working when we're fucked up, love drunk
Talking so sweet to me
It's bigger than our bodies and in our blood
[Chorus]
But I never wanna see you pulling teeth
Or baring yours to bite me
Does it hurt that bad to love me?
And I only ever say the things I mean
Left to my devices
Weaponizing kindness
[Post-Chorus]
Something's wrong when my cards fold and
How'd we'd let ourselves get old and
I could leave today but I'd rather be pulling teeth, pulling teeth
Pack up take the toothbrush home and
Hide until the morning comes and
Leave you wanting more but I'd rather be pulling teeth, pulling teeth
Alix Page released Pulling Teeth (Audiotree Live Version) on Wed Feb 23 2022.
