Wisdom Teeth Lyrics - Singles - Frank Turner

It's been eighteen months since I kissed you once, 

So just saying "hi" just isn't going to fly, 

But if you give me a clue and a minute or two, 

Then I might remember your name. 

And I hate to insist that I was really that pissed, 

But to tell the truth, in my flush of youth, 

I would drown my sight until faces and nights seemed the same. 

And a nervous shrug and an awkward hug 

Won't get me out of the hole that I've dug, 

So I slip the noose with a poor excuse 

And talk to someone, anyone else. 

And I sit with my friends and I try to pretend 

That I never did that sort of thing again, 

But I'm lying to myself.

And suddenly it's as clear as clear could be: 

I'm not quite the perfect man that I hoped I'd be. 

And though I always tried to live an honest life, 

To tell my truth I've told my share of lies. 

I remember you, of course I do, 

But I don't recall how many times we've been through 

This little game, that always ends the same, 

With you sad and me far away. 

And every time I repeat the line 

That the fault's not mine and I wasn't unkind. 

But the worst part is that I've got nothing else to say. 

And all the pretty little pictures of faith and firm devotion 

That I painted as a child, 

Well they have fallen by the wayside, along with all my puppy-fat, 

But my days have taught me this: 

That every day I spend pretending that I always choose the right path 

Is a day that I choose the wrong.

Oh yes my wisdom teeth have been giving me grief - 

They woke me up to find that I'm exactly the kind of 

Guy I said that I'd rather be dead than be 

In the days before I got laid.
