Smile
Armin van Buuren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I left you way behind today
I kept on walking into the arms of another world
Yeah
Some beating down upon my face
Pictures in motion of another escape could change my faith

A smelly flower is in the air
A field of color is lifting me higher
Wheeling me home
Another time another place
Only the strongest survive baby
It's got to be me

And I can't miss you anymore
No way baby
And I can't need you to save me
And I haven't seen the light for quite a while
Oh I need to smile
I need to smile

I need to smile

No way baby
No way baby
No way baby

And I can't miss you anymore
No way baby
And I can't need you to save me
And I haven't seen the light for quite a while




I need to smile
I need to smile

Smile
DRYM & Jennifer Rene

Lost inside this tidal wave of love
I'm underwater
Breathing for the spark that's between us
Or have you noticed

That I'm falling
Whenever I hear you calling
My world stops just for a while
When I see your smile
Your smile

And I'm all in
Just say the word, I'll come crawling
For you I'd walk all the miles
Just to see you smile
When I see you smile

Seriously one of the best trance songs I've heard surprised its taken me this long to find it.

Oof. You are not a true fan of trance if this is one of the best songs you’ve ever heard. Daniel Kandi, Dan stone, temple one, static blue, and denis kenzo have way better songs than this! Check them out!
