[Verse 1] I can see the look in your face Yeah You the slow one Standing in the doorway Laced Half in Half done I see your two shoes And your pants Too long That silly shirt hanging Like it don’t belong [Chorus] And that crooked smile Tilted left Off style Yeah you always take The long way Trip over your words Every time Same way But I stay I stay For that crooked smile [Verse 2] You miss every joke Till the room goes quiet Ask me what they meant Like you might deny it You tug at your sleeve When you’re spinning out Then you look at me Like I’m safe somehow [Chorus] With that crooked smile Tilted left Off style Yeah you always take The long way Trip over your words Every time Same way But I stay I stay For that crooked smile [Bridge] Everyone else Trying to look so clever (so clever) You’re just here Holding it together (barely) You say “I’m a mess” I say “Don’t you ever Straighten that grin for me” [Chorus] ’Cause that crooked smile Tilted left Off style Yeah you always take The long way Trip over your words Every time Same way But I stay I stay I stay I stay For that crooked smile
