Blowing Smoke

I cut the rope and you fell from the tower
I let it go for my peace of mind
Bit the bullet, it didn't hurt
But I still hate the image of you kissin' her
I chalk it up to: It's all for the better

And I bet you're at her place right now
You're takin' off your shoes, she's lyin' down

Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?
Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?
I know what you are, brighter than the stars
Tell me if she takes you far
Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carryin'
Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it
They're just blowin' smoke
I'll say what they won't
I know everything they don't

I hear your voice like a boom in my tower
I sleep alone, I'm completely fine (mmm)
And you look stupid goin' out
If she's got a pulse, she meets your standards now
You feel nothing and yet you still let her

But I bet you're at her place right now
You couldn't point her out in any crowd

Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?
Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?
I know what you are, brighter than the stars
Tell me if she takes you far
Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carryin'
Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it
They're just blowin' smoke
I'll say what they won't
I know everything they don't

And I find your books pretentious now
At the time, they'd fed the fantasy
I was so impressed at your hotel
Took a drag and read aloud to me

And you knew my last love let me down
It was your one perfect openin'
And I bet you think about me now
When you should be sleepin'

But tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?
Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?
I know what you are, brighter than the stars
Tell me if she takes you far
Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carryin'
Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it
They're just blowin' smoke (smoke)
I'll say what they won't (won't)
I know everything (thing) they don't (don't) (hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I (hey, hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I (hey, hey, hey)
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I
