lyrics:
he smokes another cigarette
he’s got the posture of an honest man
and now he’s floating through my city
with some quarters in his jeans

he knows he’s pretty
he’s got the confidence for these type of things
some how i’ve pulled him from the corner
of the bar across the street

while i’m shades of flattered
at some good romance and manners
oh i fear i’m doing better
with no hands to comfort me and

i say it doesn’t matter
i pretend loves chutes and ladders
i’ll pretend loves chutes and ladders
till the game stops playing me

he smokes another cigarette
this time i’m watching from my lovers bed
where i’ve spend a couple evenings
though i never get much sleep

i can’t help thinking
is this moving all too quick
i know i swore i wouldn’t stick around
for more than just a week

while I’m shades of flattered
at some bedside table banter
oh I fear I am doing better
with no hands to comfort me

i say it doesn’t matter
i pretend loves chutes and ladders
i’ll pretend loves chutes and ladders
till the game stops playing me

and he
doesn’t even notice it
how i’m sinking in
way too deep
and he
doesn’t eve keep it in
all the promises
he would never keep

he smokes a cigarette
this time I’m sitting right across from him
at a table at a park
where we decide to meet

and now i’m choking
on the things ill never say to him
but I know he won’t remember
all the things he said to me

while i’m shades of flattered
at some good romance and manners
oh i fear i’m doing better
with no hands to comfort me and

i say it doesn’t matter
i pretend loves chutes and ladders
i’ll pretend loves chutes and ladders
till the game stops playing me

he smokes another cigarette
and i’m on fire
i’m on fire
i’m on fire

he smokes another cigarette
and i’m on fire
i’m on fire
i’m on fire
