PAWPAWTHEDAWG - Cigarette and Drink Lyrics

Woke up this mornin' feelin' kinda weak
Velvet shadows clingin' where the light won't peek
Knees groan soft like wood in the rain-soaked creek
Turned to my lover, his silhouette a streak
Poured coffee slow, steam curlin' in the air
Left hand the mug, right hand smoke to spare
Cigarette glowin', ember kissin' the glare
A quiet ritual stitched in mornin's bare

Caught my reflection, glass fogged with despair
Mascara smudged like ink on a lover's prayer
Brushed my cheek, but the blush wouldn't stay there
Sat on the tiles, cold as a widow's stare
Hands cradle my face, a cage of shaky threads
Thoughts unravel slow, tangled in my head
Time slips like satin sheets off the bed
Where'd it go wrong? Can't trace where it led

So pour a drink
I'll light a cigarette
Put 'em together
Baby
Take a deep breath
It won't cure nothin'
But it's all right
They'll make you feel good just for tonight
So pour a drink
I'll light a cigarette
Put 'em together
Baby
Take a deep breath
It won't cure nothin'
But it's all right
They'll make you feel good just for tonight

They say when it rains, it drowns the floor
Thunder hummin' low, rattlin' the core
Thought my baby left, boots scuffin' the door
Pillow soaked with salt, heart a fragile shore
Then he slipped back in, shadow soft and tall
Whiskey in his grip, tobacco in his call
A giftwrapped vice to catch my fall
Rain kept drummin', but I felt it all

It was a drink and a pack of cigarettes
He put 'em together
Told me to take a deep breath
It won't cure nothin'
But it's all right
They'll make you feel good just for tonight

Uh, yeah, huh, woke up, mind spinnin' like a record, ayy
Coffee drippin', smoke thick, fog in the hallway
Baby swayin', kitchen glow, vinyl scratchin' delay
Legs wobble, vibe sloppy, love it anyway, yuh
Sip slow, burn quick, haze in my chest, mmm
He ain't Fred Astaire, but he mine, no less
Glass clink, ash fall, we a beautiful mess
Mumble through the pain, yeah, we blessed, I guess

Danced 'round the kitchen, dawn paintin' the blinds
Record skips a heartbeat, love's rhythm rewinds
His boots scuff the floor, two left feet entwined
Ain't no ballroom grace, but it's ours to find
Fingers brush my waist, smoke weaves through the air
Laughter cracks the silence, raw and rare
Linoleum gleams with a whiskey glare
He's my man, clumsy steps, I don't care

So pour one more, let the ember flare
Cigarette burns low, ashes dust the stair
Hold it together, baby, breathe the night's last prayer
It won't fix the cracks, but we'll pretend it's fair
Ain't no savin' grace, just smoke in our sight
Dancin' through the ruin, holdin' on too tight
Pour one more, love, let it blur the fight
We'll feel good, baby, 'til the mornin' light
