Wye Oak - Civilian Lyrics

Wye Oak Lyrics

"Civilian"

I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults, can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts but I can't hide them

I still keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me
My jewelry and my baby teeth

I don't need another friend
When most of them I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand
But I still can't kiss my own neck

I wanted to give you everything
But I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
Civilian
