Signals in the Smoke

I'm pouring water over ashes to smell the smoke
When the fire had burned out long ago
There's still more heat in the heart you broke and hope
So I'll keep sending you a signal in the smoke
Fire we're on fire,
I'm fanning down the flames but they're rising higher
A day, I need another day, but I'm getting in the way
Setting us up to fail
I'm lying to myself saying you feel the same
Signs, I've been sending signs,
I've said it to more than a thousand times
Listen, I hoped you'd listen, you been more and more distant,
There's something missing
You're tearing us apart like nuclear fission
I think this is over, but I wish you'd come over If we're really over,
Can we just start over
I'm pouring water over ashes to smell the smoke
When the fire had burned out long ago
There's still more heat in the heart you broke and hope
I'll keep sending you a signal in the smoke
Lying, I've been lying, I told myself we're over but I keep on trying
Questions, I've got questions,
What would I have to do to get your attention
I dunno if it helps but I thought I'd mention,
I think this is over, but I wish you'd come over
If we're really over, can we just start over
I'm pouring water over ashes to smell the smoke
When the fire had burned out long ago
There's still more heat in the heart you broke and hope
So I'll keep sending you a signal in the smoke
If this is the end, then I won't go quietly
And I hoped that you wouldn't, hoped you'd hold on tightly
I'm pouring water over ashes to smell the smoke
When the fire had burned out long ago
I barely re-member the embers that burnt
But I can see the blue hue in the flames we were
There's still more heat in the heart you broke and hope
So I'll keep sending you a signal in the smoke
