Only Teething

Lyrics

I've been lookin' to save the city,

Looks like the biggest thing

And now you seem like you're not

So real as the songs you give

So you pack up your bags and leave

To what seems like a better dream,

It's alright we're only teething, only young

Yeah, since you came,

Last week to say you're on your way,

You don't have to say good luck

'Cos I don't need it babe

The occasional sin

Is like your music my friend

And the singer he don't look me in the eye

Is there a soul in young things,

Or in the people you meet

I know you're obviously misbelieving,

What you're saying is only right

Yeah, since you came,

My sweet to say, you're on your way,

You don't have to wish good luck

'Cos I don't need it babe

Meanwhile, you're only dreaming,

Me I've got something to see in,

A heartache's as good as you feel it,

And now you're on your own

I know I've been loosing you

And it looks like I'll use you too,

It broke in a million pieces overnight

I've been to the promised land

And I shook the almighty hand

Who said it's alright

You're only teething in my eyes

Yeah, since you came,

Last week to say you're on your way,

You don't have to say good luck

'Cos I don't need it babe
