Smile

I hope that I'm not trouble
As far as I can tell
You're showing no emotion
Or else you're fooling me so well

Now I know you're hard enough to read
Without a phone glued to my ear
And this silly little screen
Doesn't tell me how you're doing
When you're never doing fine
Sometimes I wish I could see you
At the end of the line

My lips are silent as I listen to what you have to say
You keep on talking but all mundane things slip away
From this meaningless, familiar discussion
Insignificant
Let's, let's do it again

Everyone thinks this is funny
As far as I can tell
They're laughing from their lawn chairs
I fool them so well

Now do you have anything to say
Because I could do this everyday

My lips are silent as I listen to what you have to say
You keep on talking but all mundane things slip away
From this meaningless, everyday discussion
Insignificant
Let's, let's do it again
