Lyrics
Intro Hook
Kiss me in the smoke
Where the whole night glows
Love me like a dare
Like nobody goes home
Verse 1
You came in late with the wind in your hair
Half-cut grin like you didn’t care
Black boots, cold stare, blur in the bar light
I said, “You look like trouble”
You said, “Too right”
Outside, the city was loose and loud
Taxi lights burning into the crowd
You pulled me close by the crossing line
Like we had one shot
And the street was ours tonight
Pre-Chorus
We were laughing with the sirens
Spinning under dirty gold
You said, “Don’t say forever”
I said, “Don’t say no”
Chorus
Kiss me in the smoke
Where the whole night glows
Love me like a dare
Like nobody goes home
Hands up, hearts lit
We’re the joke and the hit
If we’re going too far
Then kiss me in the smoke
Verse 2
Your lipstick mark on a paper cup
My name in your mouth, all bitten up
Backseat heat and the glass gone dim
We were bad timing
And we still gave in
Train lines hummed like a late-night hymn
Your laugh cut through me and pulled me in
No saints here, no clean escape
Just the rush of a night
We were dying to make
Pre-Chorus
We were young enough to mean it
Wild enough to make it art
You said, “Don’t get precious”
I said, “Too late, sweetheart”
Chorus
Kiss me in the smoke
Where the whole night glows
Love me like a dare
Like nobody goes home
Hands up, hearts lit
We’re the joke and the hit
If we’re going too far
Then kiss me in the smoke
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh, kiss me in the smoke
Oh-oh, where the whole night glows
Oh-oh, if we lose control
Kiss me in the smoke
Bridge
No quiet ending
No careful pose
No clean hands
No soft goodbye
Just your face
And the city wide
And one more hit
Of being alive
Final Chorus
Kiss me in the smoke
Where the whole night glows
Hold me like a riot
Like the whole world knows
Hands up, hearts lit
We’re the flame and the hit
If we burn through the dark
Then kiss me in the smoke
Outro
Kiss me in the smoke
Where the whole night glows
Love me like a dare
Like nobody goes home
