Backseat Goodbye - 32 Ways to Make you Smile lyrics

You told me 32 ways, to make you smile

I did 31 within the first hour

You stood amazed in your delighted shoes

Bewildered but willing; didn't know what to do

So I grabbed your cold hand

Pressed it to my beating heart and said,

Isn't it neat?

How our bodies tick and we can move our feet?

Whenever and however we please!

You stared blindly while I waited politely, in the doorway by our school

Some cars passed and I noticed someone was singing "Us" by Regina Spektor

You know how I had a crush on her.

I know you don't like grey skies, we know our multiplication tables

You got straight As, while I was writing fairytales

And looking out window seals asking why, the sunshine liked my eyes and kissed my cheek,

When it knew I was in love with the moon, and of course with you.

Well, I sped it up 'cause you don't like slow songs

You're more of the literal kind yeah

You're more like the ocean's waves, you get closer at the end of the day.

When you know I can't see your face,

When you're sure I'm already lost

Love is oh so lovely, but it also comes with a cost
