Lyrics and translation
Original
I wrote my name on the fog of the train window.
It disappeared before I learned how to let go.
I dream of nights when the quiet won't hurt so.
I write my name where no one but myself goes.
Oh, black smoke, in crowded rooms, I reach for a face, but
I still see you out in the open.
And the words I spoke must be your wings. And
I know that you know.
I laced a dream of the thoughts that were real. I traced my palm, but it didn't show my grief.
Now every night, everyone is asleep.
I feel the dark, but I still see the ocean.
Oh, black smoke, in crowded rooms, I reach for a face, but I still see you out in the open.
And the words I spoke must be your wings.
And I know that you know.
If I close my eyes, will it disappear?
Is this all a dream I'm living in? In time.
If I close my eyes, if I close my eyes, I can breathe in now.
I can breathe in now. I need it.
I need it. Oh, black smoke, in crowded rooms,
I reach for a face, but I still see you out in the open.
And the words I spoke must be your wings.
And
I know that you know.
If I close my eyes, will it disappear?
Is this all a dream
I'm living in? In time
