Blowing Smoke
I cut the rope and you fell from the tower
I let it go for my peace of mind
Bit the bullet, it didn't hurt
But I still hate the image of you kissing her
I chalk it up to "it's all for the better"
And I bet you're at her place right now
You're taking off your shoes, she's lying down
Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?
Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?
I know what you are, brighter than the stars
Tell me if she takes you far
Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying
Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it
They're just blowing smoke, I'll say what they won't
I know everything they don't
I hear your voice like a boom in my tower
I sleep alone, I'm completely fine, hm
And you look stupid going out
If she's got a pulse, she meets your standards now
You feel nothing and yet you still let her
But I bet you're at her place right now
You couldn't point her out in any crowd
Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?
Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?
I know what you are, brighter than the stars
Tell me if she takes you far
Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying
Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it
They're just blowing smoke, I'll say what they won't
I know everything they don't
And I find your books pretentious now
At the time, they'd fed the fantasy
I was so impressed at your hotel
Took a drag and read aloud to me
And you knew my last love let me down
It was your one perfect opening
And I bet you think about me now
When you should be sleeping
Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?
Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?
I know what you are, brighter than the stars
Tell me if she takes you far
Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying
Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it
They're just blowing smoke, I'll say what they won't (won't)
I know everything they don't (hey, hey, hey)
And I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I
I let it go for my peace of mind
Bit the bullet, it didn't hurt
But I still hate the image of you kissing her
I chalk it up to "it's all for the better"
And I bet you're at her place right now
You're taking off your shoes, she's lying down
Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?

And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I
