MATT NATHANSON lyrics : "Then I'll Be Smiling"

Trailed by a mess
Of masking tape construction paper
And the best of intentions

He tried to patch up every hole as he went
Back and forth and back again
And his friends half full of half concerns

Embarrassed looks and tired words
They burrowed deeper into the ignorant
Little lives they preferred

And he envied their distance
Their lack of concern
He thought,

Once I shed the whole of me
Once I shed the whole of me
Then I'll be smiling


He cursed himself
And his instinct to nurse

Every idea to health
And all of the falls that he'd spent
Trying to coax his name from the mouths

Of success
He thought
Once I shed the whole of me

Once I shed the whole of me
Then I'll be smiling.


They litter me with small awareness'
Then they ask if I'm good enough
They litter me with small awareness'

Just to wake me up
Why do the fools wake me up?
