[Verse 1] I’m in the rafters, rattling cans Got a mouth full of plans and a grin full of landmines You on the floor with your steady hands Counting my sparks like they’re something you can hold in time I bite too hard, you pull me back You see the storm before I name it I spin in circles, wild and slack You plant your feet and somehow tame it [Pre-Chorus] Say my name Like a gate in the snow Say it slow And I’ll come home [Chorus] Acorn teeth, acorn teeth Biting at the world for me Hold my leash, hold my leash When I shake apart too easy Acorn teeth, acorn teeth You are patient, I am steam Brother heart, sister heat Acorn teeth [Verse 2] I toss my words like broken glass You pick the sharp ones out with quiet fingers I run ahead, I always dash Then look behind to see your shadow linger You never laugh when I fall down You just kneel in the dirt beside me Make that old wild heart settle down Till even my panic learns to breathe [Pre-Chorus] Say my name Like a gate in the snow Say it slow And I’ll come home [Chorus] Acorn teeth, acorn teeth Biting at the world for me Hold my leash, hold my leash When I shake apart too easy Acorn teeth, acorn teeth You are patient, I am steam Brother heart, sister heat Acorn teeth [Bridge] [Female Secondary Vocals] When you break, I don’t break with you I stand close and let you through [Male Primary Vocals] I’m a mess with a pulse and a grin But I’m not lost when you’re near You are the calm in my ribs You are the soft in my fear [Chorus] Acorn teeth, acorn teeth Biting at the world for me Hold my leash, hold my leash When I shake apart too easy Acorn teeth, acorn teeth You are patient, I am steam Brother heart, sister heat Acorn teeth [Outro] (Stick with me) (Stick with me) I’ll stop spinning If you stay with me
