Smoke rising, twisting in the breeze
No words spoken, but I'm down on my knees
Trying to find the meaning in your silent plea
But all I get is smoke drifting away from me
Words slip like vapor, dancing in the air
You say so much, but there's nothing there
I'm tracing shapes in the clouds you send my way
Trying to catch the meaning in the games you play
Every glance, every word-it's all unclear
I'm lost in this fog, but you're never near
I'm lost in the haze, reading smoke signals
From miles away, your signs are so brittle
Every twist and turn, I can't break through
(Can't break through)
Are you pulling me in or just fading from view?
I'm chasing your ghost in these smoke signals
But it all disappears when I get too close
Your silence cuts deeper than anything you say
I read between the lines, but I lose my way
A spark that's fading, but never a flame
Can't tell if it's real or just another game
Your words turn to smoke, I can't hold on
But I keep on trying when I know you're gone
I'm lost in the haze, reading smoke signals
From miles away, your signs are so brittle
Every twist and turn, I can't break through
(Can't break through)
Are you pulling me in or just fading from view?
I'm chasing your ghost in these smoke signals
But it all disappears when I get too close
I see the ashes where the fire used to burn
But you're still sending signals I'll never learn
Reaching for something that was never real
Now the smoke's all gone, and there's nothing to feel
I'm lost in the haze, reading smoke signals
From miles away, your signs are so brittle
Every twist and turn, I can't break through
(Can't break through)
Are you pulling me in or just fading from view?
I'm chasing your ghost in these smoke signals
But it all disappears when I get too close
And now the smoke's all gone...
(Yeah, all gone...)
You were just a shadow, now I'm moving on
