Still Got Your Lighter: lyrics
- I finally threw away that half-full pack of Reds.
- Told the boys I’m done, just like I said.
- My lungs feel clear, I’m waking up all right.
- But there’s a little piece of you I’m holding tight.
- It’s tucked inside the pocket of my oldest jeans.
- A reminder of the mess and what it means.
- I quit the smoke, but I still got your lighter.
- The chrome is scratched, the flame is getting brighter.
- I don't need a spark to get me through the night.
- But I can't seem to put you out of sight.
- I'm doing fine, I’m breathing on my own.
- Except for this one thing I can't let go.
- I quit the smoke, but I still got your lighter.
- Yeah, I still got your lighter.
- It’s got that little dent from when you let it fall.
- Outside that diner by the brickyard wall.
- I found it in the cushions of the driver’s seat.
- Right where you used to sit and kick your feet.
- It doesn't smell like menthol or the morning rain.
- But it carries every bit of all that happy pain.
- I quit the smoke, but I still got your lighter.
- The chrome is scratched, the flame is getting brighter.
- I don't need a spark to get me through the night.
- But I can't seem to put you out of sight.
- I'm doing fine, I’m breathing on my own.
- Except for this one thing I can't let go.
- I quit the smoke, but I still got your lighter.
- Yeah, I still got your lighter.
- They say the habit’s broken after twenty-one days.
- But I’m still lost inside a different kind of haze.
- I don't reach for a carton on the grocery shelf.
- I’m just lying to the man I see in myself.
- I quit the smoke, but I still got your lighter.
- The chrome is scratched, the flame is getting brighter.
- I don't need a spark to get me through the night.
- But I can't seem to put you out of sight.
- I'm doing fine, I’m breathing on my own.
- Except for this one thing I can't let go.
- I quit the smoke, but I still got your lighter.
- Yeah, I still got your lighter.
