Smash
Megan Hilty Katharine McPhee & Ensemble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smile on her face
Flowers in my pocket
But when you love me
I don't need to go
And if you love me
I will not go back down

Glance round the place
I'll smash the clock and...
But when you love me
I don't need to go
And if you love me




I will not go back down
Go back down

Smile on her face
There is a joyful expression on her countenance


Flowers in my pocket
I carry blooms close to me


But when you love me
However, when you have affection for me


I don't need to go
There is no necessity for me to depart


And if you love me
And in the event that you hold love for me


I will not go back down
I shall stay resolute and not let myself falter


Glance round the place
Survey the surroundings with a quick look

I will break the clock and...

You ask me how far will I go
You ask me what I wouldn't do
For the side of my name, as it fills every frame
Yes, I wanna be more than a flash

[KAREN]
I ask you what lie should I tell
I tell you I am willing to learn
So enroll me in school
In your kidney-shaped pool
In a two-piece
And make quite a splash
Cause I wanna be a smash
