[Intro]
Soft piano whispers, felt keys in the dark
A lonely beat breathes slow — 74 BPM
[Verse 1]
Night drips like glass on the windowpane
I trace the place where your light used to land
That way back, way too strong
Come along, I want to see you smile
Smile, smile, I want to see you smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlight fogs, my breath draws the outline of your name
A small lamp shakes — I hold on to that thin flame
I reach through the hush with one sharp, honest plea
Let that small light break the night, let it find you and me
[Chorus — Core (verbatim user lines)]
That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile Smile, smile, I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile Smile, smile, I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile I want to see you smile, I want to feel you smile I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile Smile, smile, I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile Smile, smile, I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile
[Post-Chorus Hook]
See you smile — a breath, a beacon, soft and small
See you smile — the only thing I call
[Verse 2]
So long, I feel
Because everything that I did
I took off everything, everything that I feel
I took off everything, everything that I sing
I took off everything, everything that I wear
[Pre-Chorus — Build]
The quiet tightens like a wire under the moon
I count the beats until the morning comes too soon
A single photo on the dresser holds a hollow light
I lift my voice and push the dark into the night
[Chorus — Core with added punch]
That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile Smile, smile, I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile Smile, smile, I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile
[Bridge]
And the world will change I feel it in my veins
And the world awaits Everything is about to change
How should I go about the world? I think I've done
The world should come
How should I go about the world?
[Emotional Chorus — Bigger, More Powerful]
(Lead doubled, layered pads swell, drums open)
See you smile — let me see you smile
That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile Smile, smile, I want to see you smile That way back, way too strong Come along, I want to see you smile I want to see you smile, I want to feel you smile I want to see you smile
[Outro — Intimate drop to piano]
Softly now, keep that ember near
I sing low so the room remembers your name
Smile, smile, I want to see you smile
Because everything that I sing I took off everything, everything that I feel I took off everything, everything that I wear I took off everything, everything that I sing
