Smiling

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This is a life of extremes Both sides are slippery and enticing These are my places offtherails And this, myloose recollection of a falling I barelyremember who I failed I was just trying to keep ittogether [Chorus] Thisismy first waveof my whiteflag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This, my surrender, if that's what you call it In the anatomy of my crash [Post-Chorus] And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still [Verse 2] Me, the notorious bottom dweller Me, the ceiling-less brave explorer Lured to the ends of overwhelm [Chorus] This is my first wave of the white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This, my surrender, if that's what I call it In the anatomy of my crash [Post-Chorus] And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still [Verse 3] Such pretty forks in the road On this continuum I've been bouncing Life flashing promise before my eyes [Chorus] This is my first wave of my white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This, my surrender, if I can bear it In the anatomy of my crash [Post-Chorus] And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still
