Smoke
Embracing Chaos: Jess Williamson's 'Smoke' Unravels Love's Rollercoaster
Lyrics
We like staying home, we like runnin round
We enjoy both staying at home and going out.
Fix my hair and makeup when I go downtown
When going downtown, the speaker takes care of her appearance.
Don't care if we're alone, the trick is where you are
Being with someone matters more than the location.
You can wear my clothes, we can take my car
The speaker is open and comfortable sharing possessions and experiences.
And that's what I get to give
Emphasizing the act of giving in a relationship.
That's what I get
Reiterating the concept of receiving something in return for giving.
Every couple months I like to be bad
Occasionally, the speaker likes to engage in rebellious or unconventional behavior.
Tell me what you want, I'll put it on my tab
Willing to fulfill the desires of the other person.
Love me like your mama, love me like a friend
Desiring love from the partner similar to that of a mother and a friend.
Reckon I came close to wreckin it
Acknowledging a past mistake that almost led to a negative outcome.
That's what I get for giving
Reiterating the consequences of giving in a relationship.
That's what I get
Continuing the theme of receiving consequences for giving.
No one's come this close to knowing me
Expressing vulnerability and the rarity of being truly understood.
Hit me with it easy if you're gonna leave
Requesting honesty and gentleness if the partner decides to leave.
Smoke fills up the house
Metaphorically describing a situation where tension or conflict arises, represented by smoke.
It's up to me now
The responsibility for dealing with the situation lies with the speaker.
That's what I get for giving
Reiterating the consequences of giving in a relationship.
That's what I get
Continuing the theme of receiving consequences for giving.
Smoke fills up the house
Repetition of the smoke metaphor, indicating a persistent issue.
Smoke fills up the house
Reiteration of the smoke metaphor, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
It's up to me now
Underlining the speaker's responsibility in dealing with the consequences.
