Day Long Smile

As quickly as it happened, it faded away

But the smile has lasted me all the day

When you shouted out from above
I caught a glimpse of that thing called love

But it’s gone, yeah it’s gone, yeah it’s gone.

I’ve never been one to hold on to hope

But at the same time today you threw me afloat

From the moment you took my hand

I drifted off to a distant land

I’m still there, you’re gone, but I’m still there.

I still feel like someone’s holding me,

Feel like maybe somewhere someday we’ll meet again

I can’t help but hold on to something that I had and lost

I didn’t mean to throw you off.

Things never happen like this it seems

They only live in movies and dreams

So what was I supposed to do?

Now I wish I had embraced you

It was real, now I know how that feels.

At the time, I wanted to run

But now I feel like you might’ve been the one

I didn’t know that I could feel

Anything anyone else feels

Felt alone, but now I am, if I’d just held on to your hand.
