Crooked Teeth Lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

Plans

2006

[Verse 1]
It was 100 degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree
Whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air
And refused to fall, to fall
And I knew I'd made a horrible call
And now, the state line felt like the Berlin Wall
And there was no doubt about which side I was on, mhm

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood and it decayed from the start

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

[Verse 2]
I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out on homemade speed
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
'Cause at night, the sun in retreat
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man who was devouring us both

[Pre-Chorus]
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave

[Chorus]
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

[Bridge]
I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak and my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

[Outro]
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
There were churches, theme parks, and malls
But there was nothing there all along
