Milk Teeth

Morning seeps through the blinds

And joins us in bed

And you stir in your sleep

There goes fear embedding

What if I make you pancakes

But you choose to skip breakfast?

What if when you're fully awake

You come to your senses

Hours pass on the hood of your car

So little is said

I wait for your arms

But you give your jacket instead

Am I at your disposal?

You tell me I'm nice

But I know I'm only the hostel

Till there's a house that you like

It hasn't been long since the first kiss goodnight

Said I stole your heart, you called me a thief

This love's but a newborn, so why does it bite?

It hasn't even lost all its milk teeth

So why are you already anxious to leave?

I know soon enough we'll come apart at the seams

But just one empty kiss and it's not as bad as it seems

We breathe for different reasons, both as petty, I'd reckon

You for your "Well done's," and me for "You're welcome"

It hasn't been long since the first kiss goodnight

Said I stole your heart, you called me a thief

This love's but a newborn, so why does it bite?

It hasn't even lost all its milk teeth

So why are you already anxious to leave?

So why are you already anxious to leave?
