Nicotine Polaroid

[Verse 1]
baby I’m askin’ nicely
am I someone you’ll forget?
I kept your name on my tongue
like a dime I haven’t spent
your porch light on my face
your old screen door in the wind
I keep my hands in my sleeves
so the cold won’t get back in

[Pre-Chorus]
can you hold me closely
before my hands get cold again
I been standin’ in the yard
with my heart out in the rain
say you mean it, say it slow
don’t let me fade to gray

[Chorus]
use me like a cigarette
smoke me down and just regret
oh the way you’re so pretty
you got me so damn crazy
use me like a cigarette
hold me close, then let me set
oh the way you’re so pretty
you got me so damn crazy
(crazy)
(crazy)

[Verse 2]
I seen your name in my head
on the aisle at the grocery store
I almost said it out loud
when I reached for the front door
you got that slow cruel smile
like you know what I can’t fake
I’m tryin’ to leave this town
but my feet won’t ever take

[Pre-Chorus]
can you hold me closely
before my hands get cold again
I been standin’ in the yard
with my heart out in the rain
say you mean it, say it slow
don’t let me fade to gray

[Chorus]
use me like a cigarette
smoke me down and just regret
oh the way you’re so pretty
you got me so damn crazy
use me like a cigarette
hold me close, then let me set
oh the way you’re so pretty
you got me so damn crazy
(crazy)
(crazy)

[Bridge]
If I’m just a passing thing
then say it plain and let me go
but if you want my whole damn heart
don’t leave me on the porch alone
I’m still here
I’m still here
even now, I’m still here

[Final Chorus]
use me like a cigarette
smoke me down and just regret
oh the way you’re so pretty
you got me so damn crazy
use me like a cigarette
hold me close, then let me set
oh the way you’re so pretty
you got me so damn crazy
(crazy)
(crazy)
