Smile Like You Mean It
The Killers저 Lyrics

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Be careful with your actions because your reputation is important and once it's lost, it's difficult to regain.

Change your ways while you're young
It's easier to change bad habits and behaviors earlier in life rather than trying to change them later on.

Boy, one day you'll be a man
You will grow up and mature, and look back on this time in your life with a different perspective.

Oh girl, he'll help you understand
There will be someone who will help guide you and explain things to you when you need it.

Smile like you mean it
Put on a genuine smile, even if you aren't feeling your best, because it can make a difference in how others perceive you.

Looking back at sunsets on the East side
Reflecting on nostalgic memories from a certain time or place.

We lost track of the time
Getting so caught up in the moment that you forget about everything else around you.

Dreams aren't what they used to be
As we grow older, we may lose sight of our childhood dreams and they may not be as important to us anymore.

Some things sat by so carelessly
We sometimes take important things or people in our lives for granted and don't appreciate them fully until they're gone.

And someone is calling my name
Feeling a sense of familiarity and being recognized by someone else.

From the back of the restaurant
The setting for this moment is a casual, everyday place that holds a special meaning or memory for the singer.

And someone is playing a game
Others around the artist are living their own lives and engaged in their own activities, creating a sense of separation or detachment.

In the house that I grew up in
Nostalgia and reminiscing on memories from the past, particularly a childhood home.

And someone will drive her around
Someone else will take the singer's place and continue on in their journey or path.

Down the same streets that I did
The new person will follow in the singer's footsteps, but they will create their own unique experiences and memories along the way.

Oh no, oh no no no
A sense of worry, anxiety, or fear, possibly related to the passing of time and the uncertainty of what's to come.

Oh no, oh no no no
Reinforcing the worry and uncertainty of the previous line.
