Pulling Teeth

Lyrics for Pulling Teeth

Growing up's like pulling teeth, wisdom comes from agony Beauty's always right around the corner, always out of reach "Comfort is the enemy of progress," they say Life's an itchy sweater, and happiness is clay It's rare to shape perfection on your very first try But once the wheel is spinning, it's a matter of time Before you see that laughter can stitch up a wound Know that everything you need is right in front of you I know it's hard to teach an older dog a newer trick But I won't give up trying 'til I'm comfortable in my skin I don't want tomorrow to be the one that got away And I don't wanna die until I learn to love the rain And love the trees and love the flowers, love to breathe and love myself Love the joy and pain of every card that I've been dealt The sun'll come out tomorrow, there's something about today There's way too much to live for to throw it all away The sun'll come out tomorrow, I'm proud of who I am There's more to you and me than we could ever understand The sun'll come out tomorrow, I'll stay to see the proof And even if it doesn't, I've got nothing left to lose
