Competition Smile — текст песни (Gin Blossoms)

(Phillip Rhodes, Robin Wilson)

Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it`s creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I`m high and I`m hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I`m going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile
Now I`m running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where it`s easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I`m hoping you`ll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, it`s not easy to let you know
What I`m dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
Now I`ve thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
I`m like a stone
Falling hard
And I`m only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it`s creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I`m high and I`m hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I`m going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
I`m hiding high...
