Round about dinner time. Every summer night. I'd wander out a little too far chasing one last firefly. Mama'd come calling from the porch swing. Child come on in and get clean.
Quick to light and slow to burn. Soothes the pain and brings the hurt. All these smoke filled memories surrounding me. Things I wish I could regret. Like this cigarette.
I wish I didn't care like you don't. I changed a little bit, but you won't. What's you secret for making this easy?. Living a lie, simply to please me.
