Smile
New Limit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't want to waste my time
The one you said baby I love you
Don't you know that is
At first the one you said you're the one for me
This I know 'cause it’s you are in love
But I am not ready for you, on second thoughts
Smile
You can have my love, you can have
You think not that easy
'Cause my love is dangerous, my love
But I can teach you how to try
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you can't see, don't try to run, I can keep
Smile
I see you on the street and you walk on by
But I choose to look the other way
The one you said, baby I love you
You don't know what you're saying
And now the one you said you're the one for me
This I know 'cause it's, you are in love
And now I am, ready for you, we can try
The lyrics of New Limit's song Smile appear to be about a person who has moved on from an old flame and is trying to resist getting back together with them. The first verse sets the scene by saying that the person sees their ex on the street but doesn't want to waste time on them. The ex is seemingly trying to win them back but the singer is not interested because they are not ready to commit again. The repeated instruction to "smile" at the end of each verse could be interpreted as a way to brush off the ex's advances and not let them get to them emotionally.
The second verse is where the singer reveals that they do still have feelings for their ex, but they are cautious about giving them another chance because their love is "dangerous". They seem to be saying that they are capable of deep feelings and intensity, but that it could also be risky for the other person. Despite this, the singer offers to "teach" the ex how to try and pursue a relationship with them again. In the last line, the singer has changed their mind and says that they are now "ready for you" and that they "can try".
Overall, the lyrics of Smile seem to be about the push and pull of a past relationship where one person wants to move on and the other wants to try again. The repeated refrain of "Smile" could be seen as a reminder to stay positive and not get bogged down in the emotions of the situation.
