  Learning from a toothbrush

About a sugar rush

About sharing beds
     Db
And liking getting dirty

Just to wash it from your hands
        Gb
I'd be trying to get my work

You'd be sleeping on my legs
      Db
I'd be  yelling over nothing

You'd be laughing at it
                Gb
We were freaking  out the neighbors
                        Bbm
I was treated you were saved
           Db
And I was trying to find a sublet

You invited me to stay

Verse 5:
           Gb
You know me  more than I do still

And it only haunts me now
    Db
Baby  you can be the talker
                             Gb
I have given you my mouth you  nothing but love
