Pulling Teeth (I Feel Like She Knows)

I figured it was close to my last shot

When she came to find me

Head spinning in the smoke on the sidewalk

With nothing to say

She said my self-destructive streak

Makes loving me like pulling teeth

And that seems true

I said "Let's take a ride,"

And she said "I don't gamble with my life."

I said "Of course you do

And baby, you've already rolled the dice."

She said "If you're not gonna let me drive

Then keep your eyes on the road."

I tried to blame it on her baby blues

But I keep losing control

There isn't really any place to hide

The more I try, the more it shows

I feel like she knows

She knows

She told me that the hope is what kills her

That doesn't surprise me

The moon spilled

And she was soaked all in silver

And what could I say?

I laid my hand on top of hers

Said "If I get what I deserve

I won't have you."

And she looked at me then

And said "How many chances do you need?

I can tell you're losing faith

But I'll be damned if you lose me."

She said "If you're not gonna let me drive

Then keep your eyes on the road."

I tried to blame it on her baby blues

But I keep losing control

There isn't really any place to hide

The more I try, the more it shows

I feel like she knows

She knows

Whoever made the stars

They hung them up too far away

I can't hear anything they say

You'll know where to find me

Radio, remind me

It took a minute 'til I broke down crying

On the side of the road

A lot of birds that never learn to fly

Cannot survive on their own

She said "Well, maybe you should let me drive

Just close your eyes 'til we get home."

I feel like she knows

She knows
