"Once In A While [smile]" lyrics

I put myself in a box
I did it just because
I feel dead and alive
So maybe you can decide
What I'm supposed to feel
Did I skip a beat
Did I fall between the lines

When the crown's red and brown
The leaves are hanging on
Like we're all hanging on
To nothing but a letdown
Am I supposed to dream just a little dream
When it's coming down
Hard on me

Ooh...
But when we smile, we smile together
See the sun, once in a while
Ooh...
And all the clouds, they will disperse
All at once
Once in a while

Let's decide we're okay
So I don't have to change
Keep it in, staying out
So I don't need to figure out
What I'm supposed to do
If I had to choose, then I'd stay a fool
A fool for you

Ooh...
'Cause when we smile, we smile together
See the sun, once in a while
And all the clouds, they will disperse
All at once
Once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while
