lyrics

You kinda hit me like a shot of whiskey,
Sort of slow then unbelievably warm
I guess I thought that with the strength of the bottle,
it would leave something lasting at the bottom

Even thunder leaves a mark, even rain will do its part
to leave a record of the places it has been

But you're just smoke, na na na na na na
You're just smoke, na na na na na na

You came and went, like a fire that was burning up the grass
But nothing's left, not an ember not a scaring the land
You did your best to leave your mark on me,
I swear to god I'm trying just to see it
But you are nothing but a hint upon the breeze

Baby don't get me wrong, I can still sing along
To every song you ever wrote in my arms
If I could have one more thing, I'd ask for a pleasant dream
'cause every time I reach for those memories
They're just smoke
