Smoke Signals Lyrics

[00:10.62] I'm sending you smoke signals
[00:15.03] Through the fog and the haze
[00:20.11] I'm hoping that you'll notice
[00:24.94] And differentiate
[00:30.48] Between my nicotine clouds
[00:34.80] And the others floating about
[00:42.08] Now I'm arguing with the shadows
[00:46.78] So persistently willing to lurk
[00:52.25] Just as I'm trying to decipher
[00:56.14] Whether your smile's a grin or a smirk
[01:02.59] And through this whispering wall
[01:06.74] There's another that won't speak at all
[01:13.21] But somehow I know you're considering this
[01:16.40] By the end of the night, we will kiss our first kiss
[01:19.85] After several fine weeks of incredible bliss
[01:23.12] You will tell me the words that a girl can't resist
[01:28.82] And I'm burning at this end of a dream
[01:35.52]
[01:48.64] I'm looking beyond shoulders
[01:53.38] And peeking between heads
[01:57.94] I'm thinking of approaching
[02:02.38] But I sit and watch you instead
[02:07.94] But now that I've caught your eye
[02:12.24] I'm anticipating your reply
[02:18.70] But I know that games like this have a price
[02:22.09] Five years down the road, won't be playing so nice
[02:25.45] As we suffer the ills of another cold night
[02:28.94] Two years of marriage, two years of my life
[02:34.61] And I'm burning at this end of a dream
[02:41.65]
[02:54.93] Now you're sending me smoke signals
[03:00.86] Through the fog and the haze
[03:05.85] But I barely notice
[03:10.25] As I turn and walk away
[03:15.80] And through the nicotine clouds
[03:20.36] I imagine you fading out
[03:26.00] 'Cause we'll fight and we'll bitch and we'll mess up the kids
[03:29.49] Who will ruin their lives from the love you won't give
[03:32.96] And I'll feel so trapped in these walls of our home
[03:36.08] But I'm so fucking scared of dying alone
[03:39.57] And I'm burning at this end of a dream
[03:45.72] Oh, I'm burning out this end of a dream
[03:49.62] So watch me explode as I blow off some steam
[03:52.77] 'Cause you know in the end I will know what you mean
[03:56.16] But now I'd rather die than make believe
[04:02.24] So I'm burning out this end of a dream
[04:15.76]
