Brace Yourself - Hotel Mira

Tell your crooked teeth not to brace themselves

For better or worse I will embrace this hell

'Cause talking’s great, but I won’t force you to

Yeah talking’s great, but talking’s torture too

So tell your big grey eyes not to stare at me

'Cause when they lock with mine they take care of me

And you look great in knee-high leather boots

But you look great in grandma’s sweater too, so you can choose

(But its between the two)

You speak with your eyes

And stutter when you blink

I know you’re not mine

But I reserve the right to think

Everything you say to me is a signal

Everything you’ve done to me says you’re single

So tell your big grey eyes not to stare at me

'Cause when they lock with mine I’ll need therapy

I’m glad your overcoat is leopard print

These animal instincts have been setting in, now I can think

(of a couple things we can do)

You speak with your eyes

And stutter when you blink

I know it’s not mine

But I reserve the right to think

Everything you say to me is a signal

Everything you’ve done to me says you’re single

So tell your crooked teeth not to brace themselves

For better or worse, I will embrace this hell

'Cause talking’s great but I won’t force you to

Yeah talking’s great but talking’s torture too
