Smoke - The Howl & The Hum

I watch the smoke untangle

Itself from your cigarette

I keep my mouth wide open

I’m trying to catch your breath

This is a pre-disaster

You’re poring over photographs

I think I know what comes after

But I’m too afraid to ask

We’ll quit smoking

After this cigarette

We’ll quit smoking

But I don’t want to yet

You won’t come over

And I’ll go to an empty bed

But I think we’re addicted

To more than just the cigarette

Of course I received your letter

But I don’t know what it said

I think it reads much better

If it remains unread

'cause after I feared your brother

I came to love him, too

And although there may be others

I get no rush like you

We’ll quit smoking

After this cigarette

We’ll quit smoking

But I don’t want to yet

You won’t come over

And I’ll go to an empty bed

But I think we’re addicted

To more than just the cigarette

Oh, such a strange devotion

I don’t wanna call your bluff

I’m drowning in the strangest ocean

But I don’t wanna call it love

Oh, such a perfect comedown

From such a perfect day

You rest your head on my shoulder

Everything fades away
