lyrics
She didn’t think twice before
She led me through the door
She didn’t think she knew any better than me
She didn’t think twice
She couldn’t take the time to think once
Meanwhile, I was a puddle on the floor
She didn’t blink twice
Before she slept right through the night
All that I know is her dreams weren’t of me
She didn’t put up a fight, but hey
Her eyes told me they were right to say
But it didn’t matter when mine were focused on the moon
She had looked up
To take her history off mute
I did my best
Not to squash her with my boot
Don’t you dare try to bring me down to your level
Don’t bring me down to your level
She didn’t think twice before
She saw me as a chore
To make matters worse she left me in the dark
It would have been nice to know
What she was trying to show
By making me jump through flaming hoops
She didn’t think twice not to waste
The breath to tell me that she needed space
Instead she had me talking down to the heavens up above
She had looked up
To take her history off mute
I did my best
Not to squash her with my boot
Don’t you dare try to bring me down to your level
Don’t bring me down to your level
She led me through the door
She didn’t think she knew any better than me
She didn’t think twice
She couldn’t take the time to think once
Meanwhile, I was a puddle on the floor
She didn’t blink twice
Before she slept right through the night
All that I know is her dreams weren’t of me
She didn’t put up a fight, but hey
Her eyes told me they were right to say
But it didn’t matter when mine were focused on the moon
She had looked up
To take her history off mute
I did my best
Not to squash her with my boot
Don’t you dare try to bring me down to your level
Don’t bring me down to your level
She didn’t think twice before
She saw me as a chore
To make matters worse she left me in the dark
It would have been nice to know
What she was trying to show
By making me jump through flaming hoops
She didn’t think twice not to waste
The breath to tell me that she needed space
Instead she had me talking down to the heavens up above
She had looked up
To take her history off mute
I did my best
Not to squash her with my boot
Don’t you dare try to bring me down to your level
Don’t bring me down to your level

about
Teenage Octopus Ann Arbor, Michigan
After lead guitarist Bobby Lewis formed Teenage Octopus in 2009, the band wasted no time hitting the Ann Arbor music scene with their fresh, unique sound. Influenced by alternative-rock bands such as Radiohead, Wilco and Spoon as well as jam-band pioneers Phish, the four-piece from University of Michigan's goal is to intertwine smart melodies and explorative jams. ... more
