From the recording A Tighter Knot
Lyrics
Smoke for Air
I was only joking when I said you were mine, I thought you were somebody else
Didn't really mean it when I asked you the time, I was thinking about somebody else
I wish I was anyone else
I can see it's covered in ashes
I can breathe if only smoke for the air no one is asking you to settle down
Spend your time trying to convince yourself
maybe there's somebody else, maybe there's nobody else
Lately I've been drinking, trying to move light in your eyes took a half an hour to blow it, took a half a year to cry
I can see it's covered in ashes
I can breathe if only smoke for the air
I've been busy sleeping only to dream for awhile dream that I'm somebody else, I'll take anyone else
