Cigarette and Drink

作曲：PAWPAW THEDAWG

作词：PAWPAW THEDAWG

Woke up this mornin' feelin' kinda weak

Velvet shadows clingin' where the light won't peek

Knees groan soft like wood in the rain-soaked creek

Turned to my lover, his silhouette a streak

Poured coffee slow, steam curlin' in the air

Left hand the mug, right hand smoke to spare

Cigarette glowin', ember kissin' the glare

A quiet ritual stitched in mornin's bare

Caught my reflection, glass fogged with despair

Mascara smudged like ink on a lover's prayer

Brushed my cheek, but the blush wouldn't stay there

Sat on the tiles, cold as a widow's stare

Hands cradle my face, a cage of shaky threads

Thoughts unravel slow, tangled in my head

Time slips like satin sheets off the bed

Where'd it go wrong?

Can't trace where it led

So pour a drink

I'll light a cigarette

Put 'em together

Baby

Take a deep breath

It won't cure nothin'

But it's all right

They'll make you feel good just for tonight

So pour a drink

I'll light a cigarette

Put 'em together

Baby

Take a deep breath

It won't cure nothin'

But it's all right

They'll make you feel good just for tonight

They say when it rains, it drowns the floor

Thunder hummin' low, rattlin' the core

Thought my baby left, boots scuffin' the door

Pillow soaked with salt, heart a fragile shore

Then he slipped back in, shadow soft and tall

Whiskey in his grip, tobacco in his call

A giftwrapped vice to catch my fall

Rain kept drummin', but I felt it all

It was a drink and a pack of cigarettes

He put 'em together

Told me to take a deep breath

It won't cure nothin'

But it's all right

They'll make you feel good just for tonight

Uh, yeah, huh, woke up, mind spinnin' like a record, ayy

Coffee drippin', smoke thick, fog in the hallway

Baby swayin', kitchen glow, vinyl scratchin' delay

Legs wobble, vibe sloppy, love it anyway, yuh

Sip slow, burn quick, haze in my chest, mmm

He ain't Fred Astaire, but he mine, no less

Glass clink, ash fall, we a beautiful mess

Mumble through the pain, yeah, we blessed, I guess

Danced 'round the kitchen, dawn paintin' the blinds

Record skips a heartbeat, love's rhythm rewinds

His boots scuff the floor, two left feet entwined

Ain't no ballroom grace, but it's ours to find

Fingers brush my waist, smoke weaves through the air

Laughter cracks the silence, raw and rare

Linoleum gleams with a whiskey glare

He's my man, clumsy steps, I don't care

So pour one more, let the ember flare

Cigarette burns low, ashes dust the stair

Hold it together, baby, breathe the night's last prayer

It won't fix the cracks, but we'll pretend it's fair

Ain't no savin' grace, just smoke in our sight

Dancin' through the ruin, holdin' on too tight

Pour one more, love, let it blur the fight

We'll feel good, baby, 'til the mornin' light
