all my baby teeth, oh, they're rotting on the shelf

all my eyelash wishes, i've spent on myself

all my headbands and glasses are nowhere to be found

all my baby teeth are rotting on the shelf

i am trying to savour the moments

a lesson i always was taught

i am trying to keep the years close

despite letting go what i've lost

and yet in spite of my practice

rehearsals for birthdays to come

i still can't accept

that all my baby teeth are gone

all my baby teeth, oh, they're rotting on the shelf

all my eyelash wishes, i've spent on myself

all my headbands and glasses are nowhere to be found

all my baby teeth are rotting on the shelf

i am trying to become my best self

whoever that is s'posed to be

i am trying to keep my hopes high

despite letting my spirits free

and yet in spite of my practice

rehearsals for birthdays to come

i still can't accept

that all my baby teeth are gone
