Teeth

Loose lipped conversations can be so unsettling
Don't tell me what I need to hear - I'm not listening
I had that dream again last night where I'm loosing all my teeth
But the doctor said it's nothing and that I should get more sleep
Focus on the frame and tell me just what do you see
You've been learning new tricks
And I still get the same kicks

Maybe I should pay attention
Maybe I should read the room

Candid situations always seem to fake me out
Like an abstract painting - I never get the point
And I'd pull all of my hair out if it meant a new idea
But these words aren't so heavy and I don't read between the lines
Focus on the frame and tell me just what do you see
I've been drawing circles
While you've been breaking free

I wish that I could see colors
I wish that I could play guitar

Stay up and crunch the numbers, hope that all the math works out
But trying not to force it is taking all I got
And I'm here forever after like a jersey in the rafters
But you've still got my number, so don't forget to call
Focus on the frame and tell me just what do you see
Cause this old dog is tired
Of chasing his own tail

I'm getting too bored of this
I'm getting lost in all of it

Loose lipped conversations can be so unsettling
Don't tell me what I need to hear - I'm not listening
I had that dream again last night where I'm loosing all my teeth
But the doctor said it's nothing and that I should get more sleep
Focus on the frame and tell me just what do you see
You've been learning new tricks
And I still get the same kicks

Maybe I should pay attention
Maybe I should read the room
