Cigarette marks on the edge of the chair, The thickness of smoke is gone. Discussing how life sometimes isn't fair, Four eyes and two souls make a bond. Birds in the background are singing their songs, Slowly but surely they fly. They get darker and darker, a smoker's lungs, "It's fine" as I tell myself lies. Plans get bigger and dreams always shrink, With time we all learn to let go. Life speeds up, we have no time to think, Only stop for a roll of tobacco. The balcony's edge is this deep orange-red, Soon the evening will dye the sky blue. Our hands are now ashy, the sun has just set, The cigarette's fragrance reminds me of you.

Cigarette marks on the edge of the chair, The thickness of smoke is gone. Discussing how life sometimes isn't fair, Four eyes and two souls make a bond. Birds in the background are singing their songs, Slowly but surely they fly. They get darker and darker, a smoker's lungs, "It's fine" as I tell myself lies. Plans get bigger and dreams always shrink, With time we all learn to let go. Life speeds up, we have no time to think, Only stop for a roll of tobacco. The balcony's edge is this deep orange-red, Soon the evening will dye the sky blue. Our hands are now ashy, the sun has just set, The cigarette's fragrance reminds me of you.
