Backseat Goodbye

32 Ways To Make You Smile

One, two, three, four

You told me 32 ways, to make you smile.
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 politly,
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 that you don't like grey skies,
We know our multiplication tables,

You got straight A's while I was writing fairy tales
And looking out the 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.
You're like 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.
Yeah, it also comes with a cost.
