Lyric discussion by ohkendra 

Cover art for Smoke lyrics by Natalie Imbruglia

Where there's smoke, there's fire. Maybe her parents were having problems and her father was trying to crawl his way out. She asks where her dad is. Perhaps it's about divorce/abandonment? That could also explain the tears thing. Bleeding is believing, you're hiding. Maybe her mom was fighting Nat's father's escape attempt?

Or not.
