Verse 2: (same as first verse)
On the night that we first kissed
I climbed out the window so I wouldn't be missed
Getting too big for the swings in the park
Passing the lighter in the dark
As the sun came up we had to leave
You said my name, I could feel you breathe
I walked home in the freezing cold
Heartbeat thumping through my coat

Verse: (same as others)
That awkward winter turned to spring
We learned a million grown-up things
Sharing cigarettes under the stars
We laughed and drank and raced your car
Then one morning, right on dawn
You the lost the wheel, you missed the turn
The whole world rolled on top of us
You said my name, (pause) but I never woke up again

You gave up smoking years ago
