Bedroom Eyes
Crooked Teeth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t wanna sit right here
And watch the world burn down
On the evening news
From the worn-out couch
In the living room
Of a foreclosed house
Wanna hit the street,
Wanna run my mouth

Dying for a win
But we stay modest
While the race is right
Through all the hard shit
Tough to find truth in a broken promise
Let down, who's the let down now?
Got your finger on the trigger
Now, what′s your target?
A generation raised through lost and hardship
Trying to find the truth in your broken promise
Let down, you're the let down now

Can't you sit right here
And watch our world burn down?
With your bedroom eyes
On your parent′s couch
Well, can you tune it out
With the noise so loud?
Gonna hit the street,
Gonna run my mouth

Dying for a win
But, we stay modest
While the race is right
Through all the hard shit
Tough to find truth in a broken promise
Let down, who′s the let down now?
Got your finger on the trigger
Now, what's your target?
A generation raised through lost and hardship
Trying to find the truth in your broken promise
Let down, you′re the let down now

Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah

(Don't wanna sit right here and watch the world burn down)
(How can you sit right here and watch our world burn down)
(Don′t wanna sit right here...)
(How could you sit right there...)
Don't wanna sit right here
And watch the world burn down

Dying for a win
But, we stay modest
While the race is right
Through all the hard shit
Tough to find truth in a broken promise
Let down, who′s the let down now?
Got your finger on the trigger
Now, what's your target?
A generation raised through lost and hardship

Trying to find the truth in your broken promise
Let down, you're the let down now
