A pop ballad with a Balkan ballad’s warmth — about the first morning when the room no longer smells of smoke. The refrain is ours: one breath, then another.

The lyric

[verse]

The pack is on the table, the window's open wide

The room still smells of yesterday, but nothing burns tonight

I count the hours like coins, I put them in a row

Nine, then ten, then morning — and I let the curtain go

[chorus]

No smoke in the kitchen, no ash on the stairs

One breath, then another — the morning is still there

I don't promise my body, I don't promise my mind

I only take the morning, one morning at a time

[verse]

Coffee on the balcony, the city wakes up slow

The neighbour lights his first one, and I let the habit go

My jacket smells of nothing now, my hands have lost the smell

I keep the window open, I keep the story well

[chorus]

No smoke in the kitchen, no ash on the stairs

One breath, then another — the morning is still there

I don't promise my body, I don't promise my mind

I only take the morning, one morning at a time

[bridge]

The craving comes in waves — it always did before

It rises, and it breaks, and it doesn't ask for more

It doesn't ask for more, it doesn't ask for more

[verse]

The bus stop at six thirty, the lighter in a drawer

The shop that used to pull me in is just a shop next door

I walk the long way home again, I let the evening pass

The morning is a habit now, and it is mine at last

[chorus]

No smoke in the kitchen, no ash on the stairs

One breath, then another — the morning is still there

I don't promise my body, I don't promise my mind

I only take the morning, one morning at a time

[outro]

One breath, then another

The morning is still there
