bitter smoke Lyrics

Soft hair blown by the wind

Fingers torn but the smiles set in

One short moment we take

The world's everchanging besides your embrace

Wave to you, I take the long way home

Streetlight dancefloors illuminate your glow

One home, a redefined place

I am golden, no more can you take

From this bitter smoke

Now we're a botched harmony playing through my dreams

Tear off the curtain, you'll find a machine

Change comes late but nonetheless

It's alright you can't be better than your best

Snow falls as I watch it end

Leave the lights on, I wanna pretend

There's a memory of you replaying on the screen

Ticket for one, I'll be there till you tell me to leave

To this bitter smoke

And I imagine your fingers trailing down my spine

Sandy hair and those paper glass eyes

Your smile is gleaming, begging me home

When you whispered, "I'll never let go"

Spinning down the stairs, echoes in the hall

I'm reckless but I never thought I'd fall

Into crocheted kisses and sickly sweet notes

Another glimpse of a past I rewrote

I'm wrapped around your finger while you wrap up the pain

Present it to me gently next Christmas day

Running out into the night to escape the scene but

In stripes of corduroy, you're my sleepless reverie

I'm goner in this headstrong heartbreak haze

'Cause everywhere I step leaves a teardrop trace

Of your smile, your time, your life, your love

The things I won't dare speaking of

I never realized how much I'd miss those days

Until I lost the one thing that kept me into place

And it's gone

And you're gone

Rewind a time where I was free

This love has a vacancy

Just one match, a burning hope

Blow it out, we're bitter smoke
