Smoke and Mirrors Lyrics by Opshop

Second Hand Planet

2007

[Verse 1]
Jump on board
Take a leap of faith
How can we feel so close now?
Yet be so far away?
If I could have you just once a year
Let it be the longest stay
As illusive as the present
I will love you either way
I will love you either way
[Chorus 1]
Oh, my friend, don't be afraid of smoke and mirrors
Oh, my friend, this is our day for hope and forgiveness
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you want this as much as I do?
This could be a very long day
[Verse 2]
"I wouldn't hold my breath now," did I hear you say?
Were we on the same wave lengths?
Were we under the same rain?
I'm not anticipatin' what I had prayed for
I could've been more courageous
If only I had got out of my way
[Chorus 2]
Oh, my friend, don't be afraid of smoke and mirrors
Oh, my friend, this is our day for hope and forgiveness
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you want this as much as I do?
This could be a very long day
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Oh, my friend, don't be afraid
Oh, my friend, don't be afraid of smoke and mirrors
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you, don't you, don't you?
[Chorus 3]
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you want this as much as I do?
Don't you, don't you, don't you?
Don't you, don't you, don't you?
(Be afraid of smoke and mirrors)
Don't you, don't you?
(Be afraid of smoke and mirrors)
Don't you want this as much as I do?
(Be afraid of smoke and mirrors)
[Outro]
This could be a very long day
This could be a very long day
