"When I Smile" lyrics

"When I Smile"

I go walking down the street
Smile at everyone I see
Even when it's a lie
What did these people ever do to deserve to have me tell em to fuck off because I'm angry or tired?

Well
When I smile
When I smile
Its like someone's reading my mind
Is that you
When I smile
I get closer to good every time
Mm
I hear her say my name
Oh yeah

All of the birds up in the tees
All of these trees
All eight of those trees
They're not birds
Those shoes that someone tossed up in the power lines after drinks with their pals
And the rest of these are pigeons

When I smile
When I smile
It's like someone's reading my mind
Is that you?
When I smile
I get closer to good every time
Mm
I hear you say my name

Every time
Mm
I hear them say my name

Every time
I hear you say my name

Every time
Mm
I hear you say my name

I get closer to good
Mm
When I smile
