[Verse 1]
I used to breathe salt air
Oh how it filled my lungs
The crashing waves
The salty breeze
My heart was forever young
But times have changed
My friend
And my story's taken a twist
Now I fill my chest with smoke
And the salt air I do miss
[Verse 2]
With every drag I take
I feel my dreams slip away
The weight of life upon me
As the smoke clouds start to sway
I used to dance with the waves
As they kissed the shore each day
But now I'm stuck in this haze
As the smoke takes me astray
[Chorus]
Oh
I used to breathe in the salt air
Feel it cleansing my soul
But now my lungs are weary and my heart no longer whole
I traded the ocean's song for the ashes that I choke
I used to breathe salt air
But now I'm left with salty lungs
