Purple Teeth is the fourteenth track on LANY’S eponymous album. The song is about a complicated relationship. At various points in the song she leaves and then returns – using him up and then throwing him away. Her mood is constantly changing – one moment she loves hims and asks him to stay over yet...
[Verse 1]
Closer than before
I know you feel the same way, too
Watercolor nights
You painted these, I'm impressed by you
[Refrain]
Question love and God
And will you find what you're looking for
We laugh so we don't cry
Purple teeth lying on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Just like that
You've come back again
My cracked lips
On a familiar skin
[Chorus]
But I slept in my clothes
'Cause I'm too scared of us
I know what I lost in those previous months
Perplexed on the porch
'Cause you hate what I do
So why did you ask me to stay here with you?
[Verse 2]
Easier than this
I'm guilty of living black and white
Quick to let me know
There's so much more than what meets the eye
[Refrain]
Question love and God
And what are we even living for
We dance so we don't die
Purple teeth moving on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Just like that
You've come back again
My cracked lips
On a familiar skin
[Chorus]
But I slept in my clothes
'Cause I'm too scared of us
I know what I lost in those previous months
Perplexed on the porch
'Cause you hate what I do
So why did you ask me to stay here with you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Just like that
You've come back again
My cracked lips
On a familiar skin
[Chorus]
But I sleep in my clothes
'Cause I'm too scared of us
I know what I lost in those previous months
Perplexed on the porch
'Cause you hate what I do
So why did you ask me to stay here with you?
But I slept in my clothes
'Cause I'm too scared of us
I know what I lost in those previous months
Perplexed on the porch
'Cause you hate what I do
So why did you ask me to stay here with you?
