Story Behind The Song

Life, living

Song Description

Song about the realization that as you meet people and subscribe to putting on your best outward persona as people will judge you based on what they see or perceive you to be.

Lyrics

I'm all confused, I've got nowhere to go
They say in time that I'm going to know
But I cannot find the faith to believe them
But I got new shoes, and a simple plan
To make it in this lonely land
Don't want to put my faith in someone else

So I packed my bags and went down to the station
Started thinking about my situation, then it hit me
Only I can make the difference

Sometimes they say in life, it isn't what you know
When people look at you, they judge by how well you show
So when you're feeling down, and you're already depressed
Just put a smile on your face, suddenly everyone's impressed
It seems that everyone's impressed

I got off the bus in a brand new town
Nothings familiar when I look around
So this is my new chance, and I'm unprotected
I found a room and a place to work
Wasn't nothing fancy, just a grocery clerk
But it does say something about starting over

Who would have thought it could happen like this
I met you there then we shared that kiss
Remember your first words? I love your Smile

Sometimes they say in life, it isn't what you know
When people look at you, they judge by how well you show
So when you're feeling down, and you're already depressed
Just put a smile on your face, suddenly everyone's impressed
It seems that everyone's impressed

But, It doesn't last forever, the first impression
Doesn't seem to stick but then, you already know
This isn't really me, Wasn't my true intention
Just seems, my life is one big show

Sometimes they say in life, it isn't what you know
When people look at you, they judge by how well you show
So when you're feeling down, and you're already depressed
Just put a smile on your face, suddenly everyone's impressed

It seems that everyone's impressed
It think it's funny how everyone's impressed
I wonder why you were not impressed
