You’re just like cigarette smoke
I hate to see you go
But I love to take you in
And I can’t even hold you
I can’t even touch you
I just keep you in my chest
For as long as I can hold
And then I have to let you go
And you fade into the night
Disappear without a trace
It’s like you were never even there
And I’m stuck crying
With lungs full of carcinogens
I’ll never let you in again
Well, maybe just another drag
If only you were so easy to buy
At a gas station at two in the morning
When all I can think of
Is nicotine and you
