I have long learned to write
Songs without mentioning your name outright
But I felt the need to write this one
Without any subtlety
Laurel I need your smile back
I need you back around
I’m tired of feeling like
The smallest thing in town
I have long rehearsed
Verse after verse
Chorus after chorus until the end
So I think by now you know that I’m going
To mention your name once again
Laurel I need your smile back I need you back around I’m tired of feeling like The smallest thing in town
