Rent Lyrics by Toy Boats

Diamond Teeth

2012

(Verse One)
I gave you my sweater
It smells like cigarettes now
But never better
You kept it on your skin
It's not cold where you're going
But you think you'll be freezing
I'm out of high-school now
It was nice of you to come out
I held your body in the sun
On the lawn until you were
All but gone

(Chorus)
Is this what they call worse? I'd love you to death
To keep my name on your tongue
I'd pay rent

(Verse Two)
Cold January even at twenty-six degrees
And I'm wearing my old shirts out
To try and feel how I felt
Like I did when I was young
I had that dream again
The one where you live under my floorboards
And you sing me to sleep with every off-key note
That you could breathe

(Chorus)
Is this what they call worse? I'd love you to death
To keep my name on your tongue
I'd pay rent
