Your hands move so slow
I can almost predict where they mean to go
I strain to hear every note
So if you fall flat I can follow
And maybe no one will even know
The unspoken battle here's reduced to a joke
That I haven't been finding that funny as of late
Still, please don't wipe that smile off your face
Please don't wipe that smile off your face
Please don't wipe that smile off your face
You know those days were peculiar
Yet so well defined
I thought the chords I played could move ya
What the hell was going through my mind?
Well we sing to the same tunes
In my car on these hot California afternoons
It's not the song that makes me feel so strongly for you
I know I'm not who you're singing to ...
Please don't wipe that smile off your face
Please don't wipe that smile off ...
And just when I've convinced myself that I should leave
I see a smile of recognition and I forget everything
Please don't wipe that smile off your face
Back then those days seemed so special
Now those days just seem so sad
Y'know I think that I'd be happy
If they were the only days I had
Please don't wipe that smile off your face
Please don't ...
