Smoke Signals Lyrics - Singles - Melissa Mcclelland

I'm sending you smoke signals 

Through the fog and the haze 

I'm hoping that you'll notice 

And differentiate 

Between my nicotine 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 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 nicotine 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 at 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
