[VERSE 1]
Couldn’t be there if you tried
Left me crying the whole night
Your words are weightless in my hands
Fall through my fingers just like sand
Always too much
Still never enough
[Chorus 1]
I’m your temporary toothache
And I’ll be out of your hair
One of these days
[VERSE 2]
I read it in your sunken shoulders
How your eyes always glaze over
And I know you well enough
To remember how they lit up
Lie to myself
Wish I believed it
[Chorus 2]
I’m your temporary toothache
And I’ll be out of your hair
One of these days
[BRIDGE]
Late night, backyard
Kiss in the car
Favorite flowers
Wrapped in paper
Thrifted sweater
Your scarlet letter
Believed in magic
We almost had it
[Chorus 2]
I’m your temporary toothache
I’ll be out of your hair
One of these days
