Lyrics

Pulling Teeth (acoustic)

We just fight to apologize

We break up and then change our minds

But it's alright

I don't mind at all

I don't mind at all

Disagree then we compromise

Tooth and nail over truth and lies

But it's alright

I don't mind at all

I don't mind at all

It's no sin to shed your thick skin

Throw it in the bin

Show me who you really are

I'll do the same

To hell with the games

Why don't we both just open up

We make it so hard

When it's so simple underneath

If we just stroll on

The ground is right beneath our feet

It's taken

It's taken so long

Oh it's been like pulling teeth

I got it wrong

Instead of pushing back

I'll pull you into me

Spoken question, a screamed reply

Compliment then we criticize

But it's alright

I don't mind at all

I don't mind at all

It's no sin to shed your thick skin

Throw it in the bin

Show me who you really are

I'll do the same

To hell with the games

Why don't we both just open up

We make it so hard

When it's so simple underneath

If we just stroll on

The ground is right beneath our feet

It's taken

It's taken so long

Oh it's been like pulling teeth

I got it wrong

Instead of pushing back

I'll pull you into me

Running out of hope

Running out of time

Don't you dare let go

When it gets a little hard

Looks like no one's home

See you hiding in the dark

'Cuz your heart is glowing

We make it so hard

When it's so simple underneath

If we just stroll on

The ground is right beneath our feet

It's taken

It's taken so long

Oh it's been like pulling teeth

I got it wrong

Instead of pushing back

I'll pull you into me

So long

It's taken

It's taken so long

Oh it's been like pulling teeth

I got it wrong

Instead of pushing back

I'll pull you into me

I'll pull you into me

I'll pull you into me

I'll pull you into me
