LIFEHOUSE LYRICS - Smoke & Mirrors

"Smoke & Mirrors"



There was a time, was a place back when

You and I were living alone together

We held each other in the middle of the night

And swore we'd somehow make it better

We set our sights on the big city lights

No moss on these rolling stones

And here we are with everything we ever wanted

But now we're together alone



Gotta break out of this place we're in

Runnin' out of time and out of sin

We were living smoke and mirrors anyway

Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear

Chasing down the miles so far from here

As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away

We're still the same...



I remember thinking we could make it out somehow

If somehow we ever took a chance

We packed up what we had and threw it in the trunk

Didn't give our life a second glance

Now the days roll hard and the nights move fast

They say be careful what you wish

But having everything means nothing to me now

What we had is everything I miss



Gotta break out of this place we're in

Runnin' out of time and out of sin

We were living smoke and mirrors anyway

Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear

Chasing down the miles so far from here

As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away

You know we're still the same... still the same



Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear

Chasing down the miles so far from here

As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away

And we're all we've got so let's hold on tight

To the dreams that came before the fight

We were living smoke and mirrors anyway
