This song is about meeting someone great at a bar. The singer expects to be shut down with small talk, but leaves with a new friend. Their town is dull during night but her smile lights up the street. He can’t stand his friends for more than a weekend, but doesn’t feel that way with this girl.
[Intro]
Though I seem cool, calm, and collected
Making my way to hipster with glasses
Was a little more than just nerve wrackin'
Kinda just counted on her to turn me into goo
[Verse 1]
Praise whatever, it ended with a smile
Cause for a bit, a tad, a little while
I expected you two, to save the day with sly remarks
Like "he's so cute" and "whatever you want"s
Though the white jacket didn't fit
The friends I came with did, perfectly
Snugged right to my body
Like sad movies and late-night drinks
Could’ve guessed by the end of the hour
There was more than just a little smile on my face
Covered in custard and cookies and cream
Pissed off I had to leave
But all has to end
[Chorus]
You got a smile that could light this town
And we might need it
Cause it gets dark around here
Real dark around here
Most of my old friends
I can only stand for the weekend
But that doesn't apply here
Doesn't apply here
[Verse 2]
The day started with a bloody drip
And a taste on my lips
That was a lot less than desired
Awkward moments to the side
Not all expiring fast
A tank top that didn't cover a thing
And a zipped down hoodie zipped to the bottom
Had us laughing every time
No matter how many chest hairs there were in sight
[Chorus]
You got a smile that could light this town
And we might need it
Cause it gets dark around here
Real dark around here
Most of my old friends
I can only stand for the weekend
But that doesn't apply here
Doesn't apply here
