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
Whenever I'm at rest
I'm wound up tighter than
A dried up bird's nest
That's always the issue
But when it starts getting blurry
One's never better than two
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
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
Since everything has changed
And if I do know one thing
It's me who's feeling strange
And I don't react well
To changes that come when
Your life's becoming hell
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
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.

Its a best friend song :D
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.
shades of the postal service...I love it
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
monolithhhh yessss
