I'm sending you smoke signals Through the fog and the haze I'm hoping that you'll notice And differentiate Between my nicotene clouds And the others floating about Now I'm arguing with the shadows So persistently willing to lurk Just as I'm trying to decipher Whether your smile's a grin or a smirk And through this whispering wall There's another that won't speak at all But somehow I know you're considering this By the end of the night we will kiss our first kiss After several fine weeks of incredible bliss You will tell me the words that a girl can't resist And I'm burning at this end of a dream I'm looking beyond shoulders And peeking between heads I'm thinking of approaching But I sit and watch you instead And now that I've caught your eye I'm anticipating your reply But I know that games like this have a price Five years down the road won't be playing so nice As we suffer the ills of another cold night Two years of marriage, two years of my life And I'm burning at this end of a dream Now you're sending me smoke signals Through the fog and the haze But I barely notice As I turn and walk away And through the nicotene clouds I imagine you fading out 'Cause we'll fight and we'll bitch And we'll mess up the kids Who will ruin their lives From the love you won't give And I'll feel so trapped In these walls of our home But I'm so fucking scared Of dying alone And I'm burning at this end of a dream Oh I'm burning out this end of a dream So watch me explode as I blow off some steam Cause you know in the end I will know what you mean But now I'd rather die than make believe So i'm burning out this end of a dream
