When She Smiles
Ed Jordan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never holds back all that
She got on her mind
She says she hates me when I
Can't remember what she said
A thousand times
I'm lost in translation
Making excuses when I can
I know
That any which way I treat her
I still need her
I'm searching for the key
Secrets stare back at me
I know it's worth it see
When she smiles
Sometimes I get uptight
Sometimes I get it right
It's part of myself sometimes
When she smiles
Truth is, the truth is hard to live
But in those moments
When I love her
I like the world you're in
I confess I'm taken in
But she don't know that I remember
Everything she said
I can't
I'm lost in translation
Making excuses for who I am
I know
That any which way I read her
I still need her
I'm searching for the key
Secrets stare back at me
But I know it's worth it see
When she smiles
Sometimes I get uptight
Sometimes I get it right
It's part of myself sometimes
When she smiles
I melt, I cave
My fears derailed
The facts I've lost
But I'm trying with all I've got
Trying with all I've got
I'm searching for the key
Secrets stare back at me
But I know it's worth it see
When she smiles
Sometimes I get uptight
Sometimes I get it right
It's part of myself sometimes
When she smiles
I'm searching for the key (I'm searching for the key)
Secrets stare back at me (Secrets stare back at me)
But I know it's worth it see (I know it's worth it see)
When she smiles
Sometimes I get uptight (Sometimes I get uptight)
Sometimes I get it right (Sometimes I get it right)
It's part of myself sometimes (It's part of myself sometimes)
When she smiles
The song "When She Smiles" by Ed Jordan is about a complicated and emotional relationship. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer's significant other, while being loved deeply, can be difficult and sometimes even hateful towards him. Despite her harsh words, he knows that he needs her and will try his best to make it work. The singer is often lost in trying to understand and interpret what his partner means, leading to misunderstandings and arguments. He knows that the relationship is worth fighting for, though, and finds solace in seeing her smile.
The lyrics speak to the difficulty of interpreting the intentions of our loved ones and the challenges of communication in relationships. The singer's struggle to understand his partner's emotions and needs is relatable, and the longing for connection despite the difficulties is something many people experience.
The repeated lines in the chorus, "I'm searching for the key, secrets stare back at me, but I know it's worth it see, when she smiles," underline the importance the singer places on his partner's happiness and how her smile makes everything worthwhile.
