smiles

this is the song i never finished for you
it seems that these notes don't fit you anymore
like hand-me-down clothes and your father's gloves
you fit into me like a knife
and i'm finally pulling the cord on you


smile, i havent seen you in a while
please stay with me for a while
dont leave me tonight but if you have to go,
leave your scent.


christmas time always leaves with letdowns
and hangovers and me being down and out
but i think i found a solution, a remedy
she's a syringe filled with the best antidote
she's my remedy, a melody to forget you.

smile, i havent seen you in a while
please stay with me for a while
dont leave me tonight but if you have to go,
leave your scent.

there's not much room left
the previous owners left some baggage
in this run down shack, the insides are red
i was feeling black and blue today
but your heartbeat steadied mine.

the grass touched the back of my neck
and you touched the front of my heart
i don't think this playground permits the question
once i have the means i will see if you're my savior.
until then, don't you dare change a damn thing.

smile, i havent seen you in a while
please stay with me for a while
dont leave me tonight but if you have to go,
leave your scent.
