Verse 1

 There's a graceful dance above me.

 From the sun reflecting in.

 Off the cars that pass below.

 Each with their own story within.

 And the dance moves

 They remind me of the times that I've walked in

 To a room and left with nothing

 Except the fear to walk back in.

 So I'll stay safe at my vantage.

 On occasion I'll peer in.

 You'll grow up out of the corner of my eyes

Right next to him.

 You'll need help, you'll need attention.

 You're a captivate whim.

 But I'm a coward prone to quitting.

 I just make sure never to begin.

Chorus

 The gunpowder between my teeth

 Lets me know that I've come clean

 It should be easy to say goodbye

 Since you won't be looking at me.

Verse 2

I can see you through a window

But the cracks keep you a blur.

There's a victim in this story

I wish to god that is was her.

While I know I've your recognition

It's of its nature I'm not sure.

If I could ever push this question

I'd shut my ears for the answer.

So I'll stay safe at my vantage.

On occasion I'll peer in.

You'll grow up out of the corner of my eyes

Right next to him.

You'll need help, you'll need attention.

You're a captivate whim.

But I'm a coward prone to quitting.

I just make sure never to begin.

Chorus

The gunpowder between my teeth

Lets me know that I've come clean

It should be easy to say goodbye

Since you won't be looking at me.

Interlude

Letting you go is scary, because sadly it doesn't hurt,

Letting you know I'm weary, because I'm not sure it'll hurt.

Interlude

Chorus

2x):

The gunpowder between my teeth

Lets me know that I've come clean

It should be easy to say goodbye

Since you won't be looking at me.
