[Verse 1]

Just a cigarette break, leave the ashes on the fire escape

To burn away all the words we wanna say

I'm counting down every breath you take

It's just a cigarette break

Little fires, little talks and ticking clocks

Will take me higher, but you're the one I'm dreaming of

When all these moments pass away

Just a little too late


[Chorus 1]

Oh, but I saw a spark

And I've never seen a more beautiful thing

Am I just dreaming?

Let's take it too far

'Cause every word you say colours me in

And should we begin before it's too late?

Say that you'll take a cigarette break


[Verse 2]

So innocent, but lies they always hurt the most when

The truth gets bent, I'm trying hard to make some sense

With all the words that you said

Was it all in my head?


[Chorus 1]

But I saw a spark

And I've never seen a more beautiful thing

Am I just dreaming?

Let's take it too far

'Cause every word that you say colours me in

And should we begin before it's too late?

Say that you'll take a cigarette break


[Bridge]

And all these emotions ruling my head

They won't let me sleep, they won't let me sleep

They're keeping me awake

From such a beautiful mistake


[Chorus 2]

But I saw a spark

And I've never seen a more beautiful thing

I guess I was dreaming

We took it too far

'Cause with every word that you said, you reeled me in

When it was nothing, I guess it's too late

Oh, this bitter taste was just a cigarette break
