Crooked Teeth Video (MV)

Candle wax on the carpet can't you get 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
I showed you parts of me I thought were gone
You took apart the thing between my lungs

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

I know I've many coats
And I'll go wherever the wind blows
But darling I'm a perennial
I'll come back every time that I go
Tell me what I have 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

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 if I ever lose 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
I'd change my old ways for you dear
I wanna live in a house that you build 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'd look out the window
Down by the lake
We're Noah & Allie
Out in the rain
You're the look in the hallway
The losing my cool
The 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
