Sarah Smiles
Panic!; At The Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for the sky to fall.
Then you called and changed it all, doll.
Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in.
We both know you'd already win.
Mm, your original sin.
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world, so unaware.
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?
Sarah,
(Sarah, Sarah, Sarah)
Oh Sarah,
(Sarah)
Are you saving me?
Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way.
I'd really hoped that you would stay,
But you left and went your own way, babe.
I don't mind, take your time, I got things to do
Besides sit-around-and-wait-for-you.
Oh and I hope you do too.
You fooled me once with your eyes, now, honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world, so unaware.
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?
Sarah,
Oh Sarah,
Are you saving me?
It's killing me inside!
Consuming all my time,
You've left me blind!
And when I think I'm right,
You strip away my pride,
You cast it all aside, but I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware.
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,
(Sarah)
Oh Sarah,
(Sarah)
Are you saving me?
In Panic! At The Disco's song Sarah Smiles, the singer describes his feelings towards a girl named Sarah who seems to be living in her own world, unaware of the impact she is having on him. The singer initially appears to be content with his life, "just a guy living on my own, waiting for the sky to fall." However, Sarah calls him and "changes it all." He is immediately drawn to her with her "velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in," despite knowing that she has already won. He admits that she has "fooled him twice" but he still hopes that his destiny lies with her.
The chorus reveals the singer's conflicted emotions towards Sarah. She "smiles like Sarah doesn't care/ she lives in her world so unaware." He wonders if she even knows that his destiny lies with her. The singer hopes that Sarah will save him but is also aware that she is not necessarily aware of his feelings towards her. The song continues with the singer describing how he wakes up to a kiss from Sarah but she always leaves him. He is not bothered by this and mentions that he has things to do besides wait for her. The chorus repeats again with the same message of the singer hoping that Sarah knows the impact she is having on him.
Overall, Sarah Smiles is a melancholic love song about unrequited love and the confusion and hopelessness that it can bring. The singer longs for Sarah but is also aware that she may not feel the same way. Despite this, he cannot help but hope that his destiny lies with her.
