LYRICS
It’s been a while since I saw a genuine smile
Find it’s way to her face
I mean one of them involuntary spontaneous ones
That strangers praise
One of them honest ones that a cashier
At Morrisons saw and said it made their day
One of them that I fell for at the end of our first date
In that take away
And so I took a day off
And booked a train to the coast
But it got rained off
That sums up the summer in the uk
So I booked a plane but the very day it took off
We’re still sitting in the flat
Bags by the door
with my expired passport
What a joker I am
Both of us on the sofa with phones in our hands
Her
Looking for cheap flights
Fantasising about a little world we could discover
Me
Desperately googling
A list of ways that
I can cheer up my lover


All I ever want from you
Is the only thing you need to do
And it might be too obvious
'cause it’s right there in front of you


One -
buy her lingerie
So I spent the day online
But when the order came
Safe to say she wasn’t pleased
She’s a 32B, I got her 36EE
Two -
Cook her favourite meal
I made a classic
Guaranteed to change the way she feels
I made macaroni cheese with kale
Now she’s saying that she’s gone vegan
fail
Three -
Listen
Let her just talk
Let her vent all her worries and thoughts
So she did, for 3 hours straight
Til she had to lay down, 'cause it gave her hedache
Four -
Buy her jewellery to wear
So I got her earrings a beautiful pair
She said, why you’ve bought me earrings?
Then she asked me if I was compensating for cheating
Every site got advice from an expert
I read it all and I put in all the effort
Every list, every line, every word
But it seems I can’t make any work


All I ever want from you
Is the only thing you need to do
And it might be too obvious
'cause it’s right there in front of you


And I just wanna make you smile
I just wanna make you smile
I just wanna make you smile
I just wanna make you smile
The way you used todo
I just wanna make you smile
I just wanna make you smile
I just wanna make you smile
I just wanna

‘Cause here I am spreading myself thin
Working hard and it’s not helping
Dont know what I can even do
You need to give me a clue
Everything has just been futile
Am I ever gonna make you smile again?
What are we gonna do?
I don’t know if it’s me or you

And she said
The answers staring you in the face
And yes I’ve been down as of late
In fact I’ve been all over the place
But truth be told so have you
And things are not as they should be
But if you wanna see my smile
How 'bout you smile at me?


All I ever want from you
Is the only thing you need to do
And it might be too obvious
'cause it’s right there in front of you
All I ever want from you
Is the only thing you need to do
And it might be too obvious
'cause it’s right there in front of you
