did falling in love
become dentistry
when did we begin to
practice
to push and shove at those small dreams
until they -pop- fell out
with a small rush of blood
and oh our first heartbreak
give me a silver quarter and i'll be fine
plug it up with a popsong
and i'm on my way again
on my way to try out my baby teeth
on these big big dreams
twenty times later we begin to understand
that there's a whole new smile out there
so we brace it up with petnames
and inside jokes (tongue in cheek of course)
take these romance novels these dramas
these perfect lines
and i've been waiting for years
they say that hope leaves the worst cavities
when it disappears
oh it hurts to touch where it has been
bleach it break it down
baby its all about what you say
and the shine of your smile
all i want to know is
whend did we turn love into dentistry
