Smiling through the lose-lose days of confusion
You picked me right off the ground
Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly
I’m realizing the answer I’ve already found.
Never-ending days wore on
I was aimless, and yet focused
The oxy-est of morons, I know.
Stuck deep composing ghost hits.
Fist to the desk, then next the sky
Well aware of the dangerous heights and falls
Back then, trusted nobody at all.
When it got dark at night,
Outta nowhere, now at my side
Back then, we saw nothing wrong
The dreams we had gathered here to find
Turned into the blind leading the blind
Who gives a damn if they’re right?
Smiling through the lose-lose days of confusion
To diving, all alone, thinking “damn, I’ve grown up”
To rolling eyes and deciding to stay
Trusting, choosing allies wasn’t my style,
‘Till you picked me right up off the ground
Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly
I’m realizing the answer I’ve found.
If I got you, I just might stick around.
Got in a fight with myself again
And I lashed out, no surprise
Try as I might, look a saint can’t sin
At least in everyone’s eyes
Now a puzzle on a dusty floor
When I feel that I can’t get by
I get’cha knock on my door
Ya’ll say “it ain’t all bad”
Cheer up and take my hand,
That little cloud from today
Cause somehow I’m still not satisfied
I swallow this helpless, selfish pride
No, I ain’t frowning for you!
Smiling through the lose-lose type disillusions
To diving, all alone, thinking “damn, I miss home”
To rolling eyes and deciding to stay
Trusting, choosing allies wasn’t my style
‘Till you picked me right up off the ground
Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly
Right through this rowdy and crowded downtown.
If I got you, I just might stick around.
White colored pencils don’t leave impressions.
All in our OWN shade of truth
Time and time again I can prove…
That I’m smiling through the lose-lose days of confusion
Sure, I was well on my way
To diving, all alone, thinking “damn, I’ve grown up”
To rolling eyes and deciding to stay
Trusting, choosing allies wasn’t my style,
‘Till you picked me right up off the ground
Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly
I’m realizing the answer I’ve found.
I’m gonna smile and make you guys proud.
