  • [Verse 1]
    Remember when we first met?
    You said “light my cigarette”
    So I lied to my mom and dad
    And jumped the fence and I ran
    But we couldn’t go very far
    ‘Cause you locked your keys in your car
    So you sat and stared at my lips
    And I could already feel your kiss

    [Chorus]
    Long nights, daydreams
    Sugar and smoke rings, I’ve been a fool
    But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
    Headlights, on me
    Racing to sixty, I’ve been a fool
    But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like
    Blue eyes, black jeans
    Lighters and candy, I’ve been a fool
    But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

    [Verse 2]
    Remember when you taught me fate
    Said it all be worth the wait
    Like that night in the back of the cab
    When your fingers walked in my hand
    Next day, nothing on my phone
    But I can still smell you on my clothes
    Always hoping things would change
    But we went right back to your games

    [Chorus]
    Long nights, daydreams
    Sugar and smoke rings, I’ve been a fool
    But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
    Headlights, on me
    Racing to sixty, I’ve been a fool
    But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like
    Blue eyes, black jeans
    Lighters and candy, I’ve been a fool
    But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

    [Bridge]
    And even if I run away
    And give my heart a holiday
    Still strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
    You always leave me wanting more
    I can’t shake my hunger for
    Strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
    Yeah, they always taste like you
    You
    Long nights, daydreams
    With that sugar and smoke rings
    Always taste like you

    [Chorus]
    Headlights, on me (And even if I run away)
    Racing to sixty, I’ve been a fool (And give my heart a holiday)
    Still, strawberries and cigarettes always taste like
    Blue eyes, black jeans (You always leave me wanting more)
    Lighters and candy, I’ve been a fool (I can’t shake my hunger for)
    Strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
