Song lyrics

Send "Smile Like You Mean It" ringtones to your cell

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Oh no, oh no no no
Oh no, oh no no no

221 posts	Well, as euromegamouth said, it's about reminiscing. Brandon is singing about his childhood and his old home. The filmclip pretty much tells the story; Brandon is grown up, there are new people living in his old home but he still remembers everything that happened there. That's why I love this song, it's sad but makes you appreciate more things (well for me anyway).

21 posts	I've always liked this song, but just recently I have really caught on to the song. It's just so...I don't know, but really good, like A-FUCKING-MAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! It has so much meaning to me as well, but it probably isn't the meaning that it was meant to have...but it doesn't matter, does it?

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal hmmmm... I dont think this song talks about what people say... I heard it this december and asked everybody about the meaning of the frase ( Im originally a spanish speaker, and frases like "smile like u mean it" are kind of difficult to translate).. my choise was "sonria como si lo sintieras".. that would be something as "smile as if u ment it" but Im not really sure about that... the thing is that I came from a 3 months working trip to hawaii... and my girfriend (well.. ex girlfriend) ended up with me while I was there... and that email (yeah... hell of a creativity my exgirlfriend has) sounded a bit TOO kind... she saying classic things about distance and stuff... I couldn believe that... so I told her we had to speak when I came back... and that was today... she appeared AGAIN too kind for the situation... too weird .... then true came.. I knew she had another boy by the time she wrote that email... and all came together... and then in the bus.... I get to hear this song again... I paid attention to the lyrics... it was all said... shitty moment for sure... but I had to know what that frase ment... and in a poll in yahoo I got it... in spanish and all... it was what I thought.. correct me if Im wrong... Ill post the lyrics in my fotolog right now... and get a hugg
