Smoke Rings
I like to dream about the pretty things
I like to drink until I fall asleep
Now I could never blow a smoke ring
I got some secrets that I know you'll keep
Cause me and you will probably live forever
I wish that I could buy you nice shit
And if a moment comes that we should sever
You can imagine how my nights get
Instead I think about a lake cabin
Where nobody else could bother us
I used to think about how fate happens
I think I'm born with my father's luck
See you and me will be forever young
While our bodies sit and rot away
One day I'll learn to blow a smoke ring and run
I got a feeling that it's not today
And when they find us on the beach with a smiling summer breeze, we can remind them of their dreams
And when the rest of them are left with a hole up in their chest, we can know we did our best
We dream about love, we dream about life, we dream about us, we dream about nights
Where I can just escape, we can run away
If nothing else, motherfucker, I dream
Nobody told us how it all would end
Every story ends in disappointment
Hang out with strangers that I call my friends
The ride is over, hope that you enjoyed it
I used to be a sentimental guy
I used to think about a happy future
A happy wife and a happy life
Look at that bullshit that you're doing to her
I went to pay a visit to my mother's grave
They'll feel the same shit at another wake
And still we never put a gravestone
Just an angel that the weather ruined
Maybe they'll make a film about me
But I live a boring sitcom
One day I'll learn to blow a smoke ring
For now, I'm fine getting shit on
"So after all is said and done
After all the complaining and the crying and all the fucking bullshit
Is this all there is?"
I like to drink until I fall asleep
Now I could never blow a smoke ring
I got some secrets that I know you'll keep
Cause me and you will probably live forever
I wish that I could buy you nice shit
And if a moment comes that we should sever
You can imagine how my nights get
Instead I think about a lake cabin
Where nobody else could bother us
I used to think about how fate happens
I think I'm born with my father's luck
See you and me will be forever young
While our bodies sit and rot away
One day I'll learn to blow a smoke ring and run
I got a feeling that it's not today
And when they find us on the beach with a smiling summer breeze, we can remind them of their dreams
And when the rest of them are left with a hole up in their chest, we can know we did our best
We dream about love, we dream about life, we dream about us, we dream about nights
Where I can just escape, we can run away
If nothing else, motherfucker, I dream
Nobody told us how it all would end
Every story ends in disappointment
Hang out with strangers that I call my friends
The ride is over, hope that you enjoyed it
I used to be a sentimental guy
I used to think about a happy future

One day I'll learn to blow a smoke ring
For now, I'm fine getting shit on
"So after all is said and done
After all the complaining and the crying and all the fucking bullshit
Is this all there is?"
