Hot Gum (she version)

I hold soft flames on my tongue

And chew on them like chewing gum

They burn the roof of my mouth

But I won't spit it all out right now

There's an inferno in your mouth

I can tell by the way you smile like it burns

You press your lips together

Like you're kissing yourself to stop me from learning

She's a keeper, she's a believer

She's on the ground on her knees in a theater

And she put us in a car, I don't know where we are

But she fell in love with the fever

"I can never leave her, I can never keep her"

That's what she says to the neighborhood preacher

And she put us in a car, I don't know where we are

But I fell in love with the fever, and I

I watch us burn and fall

The heat is ten feet tall

The potential is bench pressing us into the wall

And the flicker of flames weaving through my teeth

If the hot gum were to slip out, where would we be?

Your teeth want to tattle and confess to me

Your molars are complaining, I can hear them wheeze

I can't un-fire with a liar that says they feel nothing

She's a keeper, she's a believer

She's on the ground on her knees in a theater

And she put us in a car, I don't know where we are

But she fell in love with the fever

"I can never leave her, I can never keep her"

That's what she says to the neighborhood preacher

And she put us in a car, I don't know where we are

But I fell in love with the fever, and I

I watch us burn and fall

The heat is ten feet tall

The potential is bench pressing us into the wall

And the flicker of flames weaving through my teeth

If the hot gum were to slip out, where would we be?

Your teeth are on fire, do you notice? No

Your mouth is burning, do you notice? No

Your hair burns, my hair burns

Your skin burns, my skin burns

Do you feel anything? No

Do you feel anything? No

If I tell you what I'm thinking, promise you won't tell yourself

If you tell me what you're thinking, I swear I won't tell myself

She's on the ground, she's on her knees, she's a believer

She's on the ground, she didn't listen to the preacher
