Cover art for Smile lyrics by Flickerstick

This was the first song i herd from them on my mum's mp3 player but anyways I also think its "the ship" NOT "your ship" this si what the song means to ME.

The ship is high And I don't know if they'll make it down [That the people he cares about or himself are stuck in this sad mind frame and he's not sure if they'll ever feel "happy"] But I'm gonna try to slip inside the mind of a clown To follow me thinking I can save them Follow me, thinking I can turn their frown Into a smile [He's gunne try and put himself in a "happy" mind frame so than maybe others will copy and be more positive also their for "turn their frown into a smile"]

overall he's just trying to make people feel better and give them hope when maybe theirs none left.

Really great take on it!
