Smoke In Her Smile

[Verse 1] She was framed in the fog Red dress One torn seam Ice in her glass Fire in her gaze on me Lipstick on the rim Slow drag on a cigarette Every exhale Spelled trouble I shoulda guessed [Chorus] But I saw that smoke in her smile Heard forever in a one-night song Thought I’d found a flame I could follow my whole life long Yeah We moved like we’d been born In the same wrong place Same wrong time I put my faith in her whisper She was just burnin’ his name in my mind [Verse 2] She said “Baby You look honest In a room built on lies” Traced my jaw with her finger Pulled me deep into those eyes We hit the floor Hips collidin’ Sweat and perfume in the air Every spin Every slide Felt like a lifelong prayer [Chorus] ‘Cause I saw that smoke in her smile Heard forever in a one-night song Thought I’d found a flame I could follow my whole life long Yeah We moved like we’d been born In the same wrong place Same wrong time I put my faith in her whisper She was just burnin’ his name in my mind [Bridge] She laughed “He’s at home with his mistress Let him wonder where I’ve gone” Used my shoulder as her alibi While the band played on and on I was a ghost in her revenge Just a name she’d soon forget Guess love at first sight Was just his payback in a cheap vignette (oh) [Chorus] Now I see that smoke in her smile Was a signal Not a sign I was tinder on her tongue While she struck him in her mind Yeah We moved like we’d been born To be a short Sharp Wicked lie I poured my heart in her glass She left the empties and kissed me goodbye [Outro] Now when I taste that haze And the room starts to spin real slow I don’t trust a pretty shadow In the corner of a low-lit show ‘Cause I learned love at first sight Can be revenge in disguise With a red dress and a soft laugh And a storm hidin’ deep in her eyes
