Hear You Smile Lyrics

All it ever was, was midnight drivin'

Past the signs ignore the sirens

When we were flyin' no chance

Of coming down

All we ever knew was youth and violence

Four chords to fill that silence, honey

We had no idea when they'd shut it down

The deafening sound of a flame burning out

Falling in love just to fall out

I guess that I called to see if you'd come around

But really, I called to hear you smile

You know it's been a while

And now I don't know what to say

Every time that I open my mouth it's like I open our grave

And we keep dyin' in the most familiar way

Now that we're both out of state,

you're caught up in building the life that you prayed for

and forgot how to play

But we keep tryin' in the most heartbreaking way

So I'll be on my way

When I lie awake

I think about what I would tell my kids about you someday

Will I tell them 'bout the heartbreak?

Will it even matter to us when we're gray?

Will you remember my face?

Who's to say?

The deafening sound of a flame burning out

Falling in love just to fall out

I guess that I called to see if you'd come around

But really, I called to hear you smile

You know it's been a while
