Smiling, only smiling It’s only smiling if it’s got no love And kissing, only kissing It’s only kissing, it ain’t kidding no one Being face to face is hard when the one you face It’s placed in a space to hurt someone And to make this case always takes a little space It’s all easier said than done Laughter, only laughter You were always laughing in the pictures you hung And sleeping, only sleeping When you were sleeping I know you were safe and calm Being face to face is hard when the one you face It’s placed in a space to hurt someone And to make this case always takes a little space It’s all easier said than done

I tried to tell you in the morning When you first wake up So it's the very first thing you hear I tried a little bit later When you've washed your face So you're mind was thinking clear I tried to tell you in the evening Right before you sleep So maybe I'll be in your dreams I tried to tell you at 3am When I was piss drunk But couldn't word it properly I tried to tell you on a Monday To start off your week With a smile on your face I tried to tell you on a Tuesday When nothing’s going on Or Wednesday when it's the same It tried to tell you on Thursday To maybe make some plans For the weekend if you're free Remember that time I said I was drunk Well that's Friday and Saturday I like you I think I like you I like to think I like you, that's all I really wanted to say I like you I think I like you I like to think you like me to, and want to ask you out on a date

On the nights we have together I eat a little more So I don’t get angry When you spill red wine on the floor It might be my blood sugar It might just be my brain Bit it’s always the little things that drive me insane When you’re in the kitchen I watch from the door Cause when you do the cooking Well I do the chores It might be from my father It might just be my brain But when you make a little mess it drives me insane On the nights we’re not together I drink a little more So I don’t get frustrated When you’re not there in the morning It might be my hangover It might just be my brain But if you’re not there with the sun it drives me insane

I’ve woken up tired I’ve woken up sore I’ve woken up still drunk from the night before I’ve woken up thinking About waking up to you I look to my right and remember everything that we went through Was it me, was it you Was it us, did it take two Take some time, cause it will prove Was it me, was it you

This will be the song that plays when you come home to me Sung on every movie screen like the way our love should be Fireworks will light the skies and the whole world will agree This will be the song that plays when you come home to me These will be the chords that ring when you come home to me Towns will gather hand in hand and sing in harmony Buildings will come tumbling down on all sad human beings And this will be the song that plays when you come home to me When you come home to me When you come home to me When you come home to me When you come home to me These will be the words I sing when you come home to me And I’ll sing every single word every night before you sleep Well I’ll be so surprised to see your eyes in the company that I keep That I’ll hold on a million years when you come home to me

Once in a blue moon you come to me In a thought or in a dream Telling me one of your schemes Once in a blue moon you come to me Once in a blue moon I hear your name On a bus or on a train And it’s always said exactly the same Once in a blue moon I hear your name Once in a blue moon I see your face At a coffee shop of a pizza place I blink and your gone without a trace Once in a blue moon I see your face Once in a blue moon I see your face

Everything in my place is dusty Except my guitar and my bottle of whiskey My friends tell me I need new hobbies So I signed up and started playing hockey Needless to say I'm a little bit rusty I didn't have equipment so I used Robbie's I smell the ice when I come in the lobby Remember the time when my dad taught me It's a learning curve when you're 29 You forget how to shoot and trip over the blue line You can't hop over the boards because your back is sore And don't even think about getting up in the morning After a while it'll all make sense Hustle hard and your back will hurt less Until then I'm paying 445 To feel like death when Monday arrives But I got my guitar and a bottle of whiskey My guitar and a bottle of whiskey I'm getting drunk tonight now who's with me I got a couple of beer and a bottle of whiskey
