Smile Upon Me Lyrics

Everything's always better
Whenever I'm at rest
I'm wound up tighter than
A dried up bird's nest

And it's the truth you know
That's always the issue
But when it starts getting blurry
One's never better than two

There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you (fall in love with people like you)
So find that place as this forever divine

Oh yeah, you're the best damn friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the season's bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you, too

I don't know what I need now
Since everything has changed
And if I do know one thing
It's me who's feeling strange

'Cause everything is different
And I don't react well
To changes that come when
Your life's becoming hell

There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you (fall in love with people like you)
So find that place as this forever divine

Oh yeah, you're the best damn friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the season's bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you, too

kids, let's not get mean...60 miles was just making putting thoughts out there; no need to say she sucks. I don't agree with her, either, but you don't have to react to it or even think about it if you find it offensive.

it works as either a best friend or a partner song, I think. it makes me think of both my best friend & my boyfriend, and going through the course of any kind of relationship. like HopeSoForYou said, it was meant as an apology-type song. people mess up with both their friends & their partners. & personally I kind of like the circling sound, makes it feel so much happier & lighter.

Thanks haha. I wrote that comment years ago. Not a fan of Twilight now, but I still love this song :)

I agree with your comment about the meaning. It could be a best friend (platonic), or a boyfriend/girlfriend. The 'circling' electronic sound ROCKS.

i was sitting at lunch and my bestfriend gave me 1 earphone and told me to listen.. i listened and was like what? i cant hear. cuz you need both earphones to hear the circling sound and whatnot. then she was like "it says your the best damn friend that ive ever had" and i was like aww. yeah it pretty much means what yall said up there ^^

really love this song, esp. when he sings well you're the best damn friend that i ever had

If you like that part listen to All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem, passion pit borrowed the chorus melody, another great song.

whoa you're right i've listen to All My Friends before and i never noticed that when i listen to this but i did find it a bit familiar ha thanks for pointing that out

minor changes:

Everything's always better Whenever you're on the rest Or wound up tighter than A dried up bird's nest

And it's truth you know That's always the issue But when it starts getting blurry Ones never better than two

I don't know what I need now Since everything has changed If I do know one thing Its me who's feeling strange

'Cause everything is different And I don't react well The changes that come when Your life's becoming hell

sorry, it should be

And it's THE truth you know ..

My Opinion

Love love love it. Though it could be a song listeners could relate to their best friends, I think this was written for his girlfriend who is his best friend aswell as his girlfriend, as the whole EP is about love as it was a present for his gf on valentines day.

60 miles an hour you suck. sorry but twilight? seriously? don't ruin it for me.

i love passion pit. this seems like the perfect song for going away to college and missing like your highschool bestfriend(s). although i haven't officially gone to college yet, i felt this way when i spent a few weeks at a college summer program and imagined myself in college. i immediately think of my bestfriend when i hear this song :D
