Smile Lyrics by Bear Lake

Places On the Side

2008

[Verse 1]
Everybody's making cereal
Sitting back on the time they'll spend today
Gravity will push until you're out of touch soon
With all the reasons you had why you should stay
And I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be back in seven hours
With calloused hands and failing powers
You know it will start
Raining after dark
You try to will yourself to sleep
The more you try the more you think
About all the time
Wasted on your mind
[Chorus]
Hoping for the day
The farmer's waiting for the sun
To rise up
Hoping for the day
The farmer's waiting for the sun
To rise up
[Verse 2]
When you finally get to sleep
The croppers still keep bailing wheat
The rain never comеs
Fading your green thumbs and
The body next to you is warm
Like thе calm before the storm
Your legs they feel numb
The rains they still don't come
[Pre-Chorus]
But everybody's making cereal
And it's calling you to stay 'til life is gone
A conversation starts and then it ends abruptly
You're alone with your thoughts out on parade
[Chorus]
Hoping for the day (And I'll be back in seven hours
With calloused hands and failing powers)
The farmer's waiting for the sun to rise up (You know it will start raining after dark)
Hoping for the day (You try to will yourself to sleep
The more you try the more you think)
The farmer's waiting for the sun to rise up (About all the time wasted on your mind)
