Lyrics
Smile

I'm falling by the wayside
I'm sinking with the sun
Everything I do
is wrong wrong wrong
Gazing at the billboards
Staring down the broken lines
Sleeping on the backseat
I could not believe
You were right up there beside me
Tugging at my sleeve
and putting up your lipstick
Just like you did a thousand times
and something in your eyes that makes me smile
oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
oh yeah
I wake up in the darkness
Its more than I can stand
I?m reaching out to touch it
It breaks up in my hand
I?ve never known the headlights
to shine so cold
I?m waiting for the morning
to steal over the hills
I?m urging for the road
to speed these wheels
I?m watching for the sunrise
turning all the teardrops gold
Cause something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
And something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah etc.....
