Death Cab For Cutie - Crooked Teeth lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - Crooked Teeth lyrics]
It was 100 degrees as we
Sat beneath a willow tree
Whose tears didn't care
They just hung in the air
And refused to fall, to fall
And I knew I'd made a horrible call and now
The state line felt like the Berlin Wall
And there was no doubt about
Which side I was on, mhm
'Cause I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood and it
Decayed from the start
'Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out on homemade speed
And we shared a bed in which I could
Not sleep at all, woo hoo, woo hoo, ooh
'Cause at night, the sun in retreat
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man
Who was devouring us both
You're so cute when you're
Slurring your speech
But they're closing the bar and
They want us to leave
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak and my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
There were churches, theme parks, and malls
But there was nothing there all along
Sat beneath a willow tree
Whose tears didn't care
They just hung in the air
And refused to fall, to fall
And I knew I'd made a horrible call and now
The state line felt like the Berlin Wall
And there was no doubt about
Which side I was on, mhm
'Cause I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood and it
Decayed from the start
'Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out on homemade speed
And we shared a bed in which I could
Not sleep at all, woo hoo, woo hoo, ooh
'Cause at night, the sun in retreat
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man
Who was devouring us both
You're so cute when you're
Slurring your speech
But they're closing the bar and
They want us to leave
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak and my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
There were churches, theme parks, and malls
But there was nothing there all along
