Cigarettes Lyrics by Liis

Put It On; Show It Off

2018

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
You were a satellite
Looking for a place to park
'Cause you’d grown tired of the dark
How quickly you forget that part
You only remember the spark

[Chorus]
By now
Well, I would bet
That what you'd do for me is less than what you'd do
For your cigarette
Or what you'd do to kill yourself

[Verse 2]
Staring at the stars reminds us that we're small
Oh, but that little blinky light of yours
Made me feel smaller than them all
And you’re out there taking pictures
You won’t get close enough to touch
While I’m back here on the ground
And you’re back to getting around

[Chorus]
Oh, by now
Well, I would bet
That what you'd do for me is less than what you'd do
For your cigarette
Or what you'd do to kill yourself

And you're looking for the message in a bottle
But I didn't know how to be what you wanted to hear
It doesn't matter what you call it
A fire by another name is gonna burn you just the same

[Bridge]
Said I was asking too much
Think you were asking for more
You want me to stand by and watch you die
But I don't know how to love that way

Just 'cause you didn't call
Doesn't mean I wouldn't answer now
If you did

[Chorus]
By now
Well, I would bet
That what you'd do for me is less than what you'd do
For your cigarette
Or what you'd do to kill yourself

And you're looking for the message in a bottle
But I didn't know how to be what you wanted to hear
It doesn't matter what you call it
A fire by another name is gonna burn you just the same
