“Lungs” is the third track off of my EP, “Stages”. This song is an inside look at a personified conversation between me and nicotine, and I decided to quit on the day of it’s creation. Many metaphors and similes are interlaced in the lyrics, and is a very neat way to portray addiction.
[Intro]
Mhm, yeah
(Intertwined and now I'm coming undone)
[Hook]
You always are the one I am thinking of
Forever in life just doesn't seem like enough
Stay in my mind, intertwined, and now I'm coming undone
You linger in my soul like smoke in my lungs
(Hmm) like smoke in my lungs
(Hmm) like smoke in my lungs
(Hmm) like smoke in my lungs
Linger in my soul like smoke in my lungs
[Verse]
Every time you come back around I get scared
Because I know it won’t be long that you’re there
Inhale, exhale cause I can’t breath with no air, with no air
I don’t know how I can get you to just stay
Because I never really know what to say
Push and pull me, I just wanna lift the weight
[Bridge]
I used to have you to myself, yeah
When you ain’t wanted no one else, yeah (no one else)
But since you’re gone and up and left me
Just go and put me on the shelf please (please)
Just remember
[Hook]
You always are the one I am thinking of
Forever in life just doesn't seem like enough
Stay in my mind, intertwined, and now I'm coming undone
You linger in my soul like smoke in my lungs
(Hmm) like smoke in my lungs
(Hmm) like smoke in my lungs
(Hmm) like smoke in my lungs
Linger in my soul like smoke in my lungs
Outro:
I used to have you to myself, yeah
When you ain’t wanted no one else, yeah
But since you’re gone and up and left me
Just go and put me on the shelf please
I used to have you to myself, yeah
When you ain’t wanted no one else, yeah (no one else)
But since you’re gone and up and left me
Just go and put me on the shelf please, the shelf please

“A year and a half ago, I started vaping heavily (I know, lame). I’m not sure how I hid it from everyone around me, but some people were able to catch small glimpses of my slight addiction. On Monday, I stopped. I saw that it was a detriment to my he...
