The Way You Make Me Smile

Paint me a picture
And sign with your name
It’ll pay off my mortgage one day
You might not see it
I know what you’re worth
And I pray to God you never change
Write me a poem
Of something you love
With the big words you learned back in school
I promise I’ll read it
But not that I’ll get it
See, I’m a bit simpler than you
Oh the way you make me smile
Put your suitcases down, won’t you stay for a while?
I’ll do my best to make this real
I’m trying, I swear, but it’s hardest to feel
Down by the river
I swallowed my heart
And the space made it easier to breathe
Now when I miss you
My stomach goes wild
The pain brings me down to my knees
So maybe it’s best if
We leave this for now
Put aside like an old recipe
We might still crave it
Of course I still crave it
We’re just not who we used to be
Oh the way you make me smile
Put your suitcases down, won’t you stay for a while?
I’ll do my best to make this real
I’m trying, I swear, but it’s hardest to feel
I’m trying, I swear, but it’s hardest to feel
I’m trying, I swear, but it’s hardest to feel
Please don’t leave
You’re the only one I need
Oh the way you make me smile
Put your suitcases down, won’t you stay for a while?
I’ll do my best to make this real
I’m trying, I swear, but it’s hardest to feel
I’m trying, I swear, but it’s hardest to feel
I’m trying, I swear, but it’s hardest to feel
