Glass teeth

Verse 1

We were leaning on the counter

Cheap wine in a plastic cup

You were talking like a prophet

But you never say enough

Everybody’s getting louder

Like they’re trying to be seen

I just watch it in the corner

Like a film I didn’t mean

Pre-Chorus

And you laugh like you don’t care

But I see you checking who’s there

Chorus

We’re all biting with glass teeth

Smiling like it’s so sweet

Saying things we don’t mean

Just to feel something

And I’m dancing on the concrete

Heart skipping on the off-beat

You and me in between

What we are and what we seem

Verse 2

You said, “Isn’t this exciting?”

But your eyes were somewhere else

Like you’re always on the outside

Even when you’re with yourself

There’s a girl across the room

Crying in her glitter dress

No one notices her shaking

They just call it being a mess

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if she knows

We all feel it, we just don’t show

Chorus

We’re all biting with glass teeth

Smiling like it’s so sweet

Saying things we don’t mean

Just to feel something

And I’m dancing on the concrete

Heart skipping on the off-beat

You and me in between

What we are and what we seem

Bridge (spoken/soft, building)

I don’t wanna be like this

Performing every little thing

Like if I stop moving

I’ll disappear

You take my hand for a second

Then let it fall like it’s nothing

And somehow that says everything

Final Chorus (slightly bigger, still restrained)

We’re still biting with glass teeth

Trying hard not to bleed

Calling it a good night

Calling it a good life

And I’m laughing like it’s easy

But it’s all a little hazy

You and me in between

What we were and what we’ll be

Outro (minimal, echoing)

We don’t say what we mean

We just say what we’ve seen
