Lyrics When I Smile - Ryan Adams

I go walking down the street
Smile at everyone I see, even when it's a lie
What did these people ever do to deserve
To have me tell 'em to fuck off because I'm angry or tired?

Well
When I smile, when I smile
It's like someone's reading my mind
Is that you when I smile?
I get closer to good every time, mm
I hear her say my name, oh yeah

All of the birds up in the tees
All of these trees, all eight of those trees
They're not birds
Those shoes that someone tossed up in the power lines
After drinks with their pals
And the rest of these are pigeons

When I smile, when I smile
It's like someone's reading my mind
Is that you when I smile?
I get closer to good every time, mm
I hear you say my name

Every time, mm
I hear them say my name
Every time
I hear you say my name
Every time, mm
I hear you say my name

I get closer to good, mm
When I smile
