Lyrics

i Picked the Wrong Day (To Quit Smokin')

i picked the wrong day to quit smokin'
still hear you whispering in my ear
your breath so silky like a song
your finger's pressed upon my tears

i guess i failed to read the warning
crossing stars are sure to fall
it's such a drag we gave it up
and dashed our embers on the wall

please, turn back the page
i'll swallow all the words
you said
and i'll never quit
again

i picked the wrong day to quit drinkin'
drowning sorrows looming near
you said you love me, like you're jokin'
i'm hanging over from our year

i picked the wrong day to quit hopin
wishing 'pon those sinking stars
my toes and fingers are uncrossing
uncapped my lightning from the jar

please, turn back the page
i'll swallow all the words
you said
and i'll never quit
again

my tell tale heart is drenched in shadows
i fought so many battles
i have told myself that i will never
ever quit
no i'll never quit
again

i picked the wrong day to quit dreamin'
as night crawls near, i hold on tight
i fear the reaper's blade is seethin'
keep one eye open 'case you might

please, turn back the page
and swallow all the words
i said
please turn back the page
let's swallow all the words
we said
and i'll never quit
no, i'll never quit
never quit again
