Cover art for Cigarettes lyrics by Hey Marseilles

"I remember how we danced out loud" Beautiful. I feel like this song is about someone who was in love; who IS in love. And the problem isn't that the person that they're in love with didn't return their feelings, but more likely they're in denial. This person is afraid to show love in return, for whatever reason. Maybe they've been hurt before, maybe they had parents who split up and now they're terrified of that happening to them, or maybe they're simply cynical and don't believe in love- even when it's staring them straight in the face. The one who does acknowledge what they have knows that they can't force anything though, and so the song is kind of like a quiet persuasion for this other person to just let go of what they know and fall into what they feel.
