Watchin' cigarettes burn out 'Til all the neon gets turned out I was so on fire for you it hurts how Fast that a cigarette can burn out
Just watchin' rivers run Down the side of my bottle Almost like it's cryin' my tears I had the world on a string And then I lost everything And that's how I wound up here
Watchin' cigarettes burn out 'Til all the neon gets turned out There's nothing left but empty glasses now It's all flashes now Smokin' memory that ain't nothin' but ashes In the low lights These done-me-wrong songs hit me so right I was so on fire for you it hurts how Fast that a cigarette can burn out
If you put your hands on the flame You've got no right to complain 'Cause you know it's gonna leave a mark When the glow comes to an end Like scattered embers in the wind Leaves you lookin' for a brand new spark
Watchin' cigarettes burn out
No, with every hit I'm gonna quit But who am I kiddin' I just can't put you down So I keep hangin' around
Watchin' cigarettes burn out 'Til all the neon gets turned out There's nothing left but empty glasses now It's all flashes now Smokin' memory that ain't nothin' but ashes In the low lights These done-me-wrong songs hit me so right I was so on fire for you it hurts how Fast that a cigarette can burn out I was so on fire for you it hurts how Fast that a cigarette can burn out
