Blinded And Smiling Lyrics

You look at me like I'm crazy for taking so long
It's hard to say what I mean sometimes
I don't want it coming out wrong

It's just that I can't understand why we can't live forever
Why happiness passes so easily by
But pain hurts more than ever

Smile for a picture
Gather 'round the room
Put your arms around me
Like you always do
I want to stay here
Forever, I do
Blinded and smiling
Holding on to you

You say I always make such a big deal out of nothing
Everything seems like a dream sometimes
And I'm afraid of what's coming

So you raise your glass and you toast to the end of the world
Everyone laughs, and the cameras flash
And I wish the earth wouldn't turn

Smile for a picture
Gather 'round the room
Put your arms around me
Like you always do
I want to stay here
Forever, I do
Blinded and smiling
Holding on to you

Blinded and smiling
Holding on to you
