Lyrics

I came to you from a thousand miles away
Through a thousands trials
And maybe it's a cliche
To do all that you've asked today
But all that I get in return
Are a thousand different ways to make me cry

Judging from the task at hand
I can't react to the castles in the sand
That took so long to make
The hours that kept me wide awake
I spent all morning wading in the waves
Of a million ways to make me cry

Although I'm pleased to meet you
We live on different avenues
You've backed me up against the wall
To smile every time I call

All you make me feel
Can not conceal
What's behind a simple smile and nod
Someone to talk to
Can't give a clue
But it's ok, I'll just smile and nod

I lay awake on a work day
Maybe make a call to the judge and say
I'm ok, but I'm off now
I can't commit to where and how
But time is on my side for a little while
So why should I cry?

You blew out all my candles
Before I made my wish
And teased me with a present
A good old fashioned bait and switch

All you make me feel
Can not conceal
What's behind a simple smile and nod
Someone to talk to
Can't give a clue
But it's ok, I'll just smile and nod

I came to you from a thousand miles away
What's behind a simple smile and nod?
But all that I get in return
Are a thousand different ways to make me cry
It's ok, I'll just smile and nod
