1st of all: It's quite strange to see Bob Smith writting such a happy lyrics! He probably was in a (VERY) good mood when he did this one. Well, I think his fans tend to believe he's a dark person all the way, but this one is a proof that (maybe) he has been just played the character of the terribly sad/ultra-melancholic boy all this time... It's a kind of involuntary funny thing to read lines as "For rip-zipping button-popping" coming out from Bob's lipstick mouth.

Anyway, it's a lovely, lovely, lovely pop song and it talks about a couple who have lived in an almost complete depression while the girl has considered everything is lost for them and nothing is able to take them from this situation indeed. Then one day the boy decides for some reason that they can do everything works on their lives, it's just a question of relaxing and changing the way how they see their own lives. They don't need anymore to be those sad ones they used to be just because life is always expecting an opportunity for smiling to you and you just need to smile back to it, no matter how much sorrow you have carried inside your heart. And he has finally discovered this and he's trying to convince her about this truth in a very emphatic way!

Spot on
