Verse 1
We were driving with the windows down at midnight
City lights flickering across your face
You said nothing lasts, but it felt like forever
In the silence we couldn’t replace
Pre-Chorus
Every second slipping through our hands
Like we knew but didn’t understand
Chorus
We were killing time like old cigarettes were killing me
Burning through the nights so carelessly
Every breath we took was bittersweet
Going nowhere fast, just you and me
Yeah, we were killing time like old cigarettes were killing me
Ashes falling where we used to be
Now there’s nothing left but memory
And the smoke of what we couldn’t keep
Verse 2
Your jacket still hangs on the back of my chair
Like you’re coming home but never do
I still hear your voice in the static of silence
Like a song I can’t undo
Pre-Chorus
We played with fire just to feel the heat
Now I’m dancing with the empty streets
Chorus
We were killing time like old cigarettes were killing me
Burning through the nights so carelessly
Every breath we took was bittersweet
Going nowhere fast, just you and me
Yeah, we were killing time like old cigarettes were killing me
Ashes falling where we used to be
Now there’s nothing left but memory
And the smoke of what we couldn’t keep
Bridge
Maybe we were just a passing flame
Too bright to last, too wild to tame
Now I’m left with echoes of your name
And a heart that never feels the same
Final Chorus
We were killing time like old cigarettes were killing me
But time kept killing you and me
All the moments lost in between
What we were and what we’d be
Yeah, we were killing time like old cigarettes were killing me
Now I’m breathing in what used to be
Just a shadow of your gravity
And the smoke is all that’s left of me
