2 Cigarettes
Jack & Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Both of us been acting different
We used to be so consistent
Is there nothing left to say, say?
Now I see your face and I just don't know you
Like the picture's there but it's not quite focused
And I know it won't, but I'm still here hoping
It gets better now, yeah
No more late nights, us just talking
Used to FaceTime, now you just calling
It's no one's fault but some things just fall apart, yeah
I smoke two cigarettes and I don't even smoke, no
Now the sun's coming up and I'm halfway sober
And I know it won't but I'm still here hoping
That it gets better now, whoa
How'd it get so complicated?
Can't even have no conversation
Past the point of trying to save it
But we push it to another day, hey
Now I see your face and I just don't know you
Like the picture's there but it's not quite focused
And I know it won't but I'm still here hoping
That it gets better now, it gets better now
No more late nights, us just talking
Used to FaceTime, now you just calling
It's no one's fault but some things just fall apart (Oh they fall apart), yeah
I smoke two cigarettes and I don't even smoke, no
Now the sun's coming up and I'm halfway sober
And I know it won't but I'm still here hoping
That it gets better now, whoa
(You got me fucked up, damn)
I'm really tryin' to let go
But I can't delete the messages
When you said you'd be my girl forever, shit
Now it's been a week and it's really starting to settle in
We were movin' full speed, now we're just back-pedalin'
All those other couples that were fallin' out of love
We would always talk about how we were so far ahead of them
Energy between us, it was heaven sent
Then it went straight from A+ to the negatives
Outta control, that was after I got off of the road
You hadn't seen me in like, 45 days
I could tell it in your face
Yes, something was up
My arms opened wide
Open, waiting for you to jump
But you just walked up slow
Nah, wait, this ain't the girl I know
C'mon, where she at?
Give her back
Just makin' my jokes, didn't even crack a smile, damn
That's all it took for me to know there was another man
It's all downhill
No more late nights (Late nights), us just talking (Talkin' 'bout baby)
Used to FaceTime, now you just calling (Fallin')
It's no one's fault but some things just fall apart (Oh), yeah
I smoke two cigarettes and I don't even smoke, no
Now the suns coming up and I'm halfway sober
And I know it won't but I'm still here hoping
That it gets better now, whoa
"2 Cigarettes" by Jack & Jack is a heartfelt song about a relationship that is falling apart. The lyrics express the confusion and pain that both parties feel as they try to hold on to something that has become unrecognizable. The song opens with the lines "Lately I can feel us drifting, Both of us been acting different, We used to be so consistent, Is there nothing left to say, say?" The singer is unsure of what is happening between them and if it can be saved.
The chorus amplifies the lost feeling the singer is experiencing as they do not recognize their partner anymore. The lines "Now I see your face and I just don't know you, Like the picture's there but it's not quite focused" suggest a sense of detachment. The singer does not understand what caused it, but they are still hoping for things to get better. The lines "I smoke two cigarettes and I don't even smoke, now the sun's coming up, and I'm halfway sober" give an image of someone sitting outside in the early hours of the morning, contemplating the situation and everything that led to this point.
The second verse of the song refers to the loss of communication and the couple growing apart. FaceTiming is now just calling, and late-night conversations are a thing of the past. The lines "How'd it get so complicated? Can't even have no conversation, Past the point of trying to save it, But we push it to another day, hey" expresses the frustration of trying to talk about it with no results.

Energy between us, it was heaven sent
Our connection felt like it came from a higher power
Then it went straight from A+ to the negatives
Our relationship went from being great to being really bad
Outta control, that was after I got off of the road
Things got really bad after I came back from touring
You hadn't seen me in like, 45 days
We were separated for almost 2 months
I could tell it in your face
It was clear from your face that something was wrong
Yes, something was up
There was definitely a problem in our relationship
My arms opened wide
I was ready to give you a big hug and show affection
Open, waiting for you to jump
I was hoping you would react positively to my affection
But you just walked up slow
You didn't run towards me with excitement like you used to
Nah, wait, this ain't the girl I know
You're not the same person I fell in love with
C'mon, where she at?
I'm wondering where the happy, loving person I fell in love with has gone
Give her back
I want the girl I fell in love with back
Just makin' my jokes, didn't even crack a smile, damn
I tried to make you laugh, but you didn't even smile
That's all it took for me to know there was another man
Your lack of affection and interest made me realize that there was someone else in your life
It's all downhill
Our relationship is getting worse and worse
Late nights, us just talking
We used to stay up late just talking to each other
Talkin' 'bout baby
We used to talk about our future together
Fallin'
Our relationship is falling apart

Truth, which we do not like:
- there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
- The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
- there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
- there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
- there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
- there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
- the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
Matthew 7:21
The truth we don`t like:
- we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
- we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
- we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
- there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
- the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
- as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
¤ son against his father, father against his son,
¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
¤ mother in law against daughter in law
……Micah 7:6 , Matthew 10:35 ,
Luke 12:53
- Christianity is reality.
The truth we don`t like:
- TVs keep the whole mankind under MK MIND CONTROL.
- there is none trans nor gay, all of it are the consequence from THE MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL.
- there is noon the greatest lie again played with mankind: THE PROJECT BLUE BEAM.
- we are deceived 24/7/365 through TV programs /news) and through wicked people.
- we live in a BABYLON from which all are called to come out. Revelation 18:4
- without the studying and reading the BIBLE, we then only deceive others, as we also then are deceived ourselves: 2 Timothy 3:13
- all worldly holidays are pagan.
- fame and riches come only through the deal with the devil.
- PRIDE keeps us blind and deaf. Mark 8:18
- generations of humans are destroyed because: Hosea 4:6
