lyrics

There are things that make you smile
There are things you don't want to forget
Your reflection in his eyes
When he strokes your back like a pet

A dream not meant for me
Still feels like a ship coming in
I'll go through the motions again
As if I don't know how it ends

Your face burns red from the cold
Dickinson Street quartets
All your life for a ring on your hand
But I don't want to be kept

Have I known all the love that I'll know
Would it even recognize me now
Truth is just like luck is just like
Time the way it pulls the stitches out

There are things that make you smile
There are things you don't want to forget
When you've lost all your faith
Sometimes you have to pretend

There are things that make you smile
Don't let the magic begin
When a miracle gives up
Sometimes you have to give in

There are things that make you smile
There are things you don't want to forget
There are things that make you smile
There are things you don't want to forget

There are things you don't want to forget
