lyrics

Verse 1

You quit smoking cigarettes
And I think it’s good, I think it’s swell
that you’re afraid to go to hell now
But man I miss you
And the fire on your lips
Toss your filter to the wind

It’s been a while since that apartment complex
And you’re not as funny, but I think it’s great
The way that you still laugh the same

Chorus

Adeline
How do you pass the time?
You told me it was just a game
And I’m wondering if you still feel that way
We were so happy then
But I guess things have to change

Verse 2

I remember your first-ever boy
When he kissed your lips and you looked at me
You were such an actress, Addy

But I still miss you
And when you asked me how I was
I didn’t know if it was cause

You were all alone in New York City
On the phone, you called me baby
And when I laughed my hands were shaking

Chorus

Adeline
How do you pass the time?
You told me you would be around
If I ever brought my body to the ground
I was so angry then
But I guess I’m alright now

Verse 3

I was just a kid in a yellow dress
On a night in summer I took your hand
And then your brother caught us dancing
And I went home

We didn’t talk eleven days
And then in church I saw you praying
And I listened as I sat behind you
To you cry when your father
Wouldn’t look you in the eye

Chorus

Adeline
How do you pass the time?
You told me every little thing
Do you still ever laugh until you weep?
You’re not here
but I guess you still mean the world to me
