See I'm Smiling lyrics - Anna Kendrick

 (from "The Last Five Years" soundtrack)

I guess I can't believe you really came

And that we're sitting on this pier

See, I'm smiling...

That means I'm happy that you're here

I stole this sweater from the costume shop...

It makes me look like Daisy Mae

See, we're laughing...

I think we're gonna be okay

I mean, we'll have to try a little harder

And bend things to and fro

To make this love as special

As it was five years ago

I mean, you made it to Ohio!

Who knows where else we can go?

I think you're really gonna like this show

I'm pretty sure it doesn't suck

See, you're laughing, and I'm smiling

By a river in Ohio

And you're mine...

We're doing fine

I think we both can see what could be better...

I'll own when I was wrong

With all we've had to go through

We'll end up twice as strong

And so we'll start again this weekend

And just keep rolling along...

I didn't know you had to go so soon

I thought we had a little time...

Look, whatever, if you have to

Then you have to, so whatever

It's all right...

We'll have tonight

You know what makes me crazy?

I'm sorry, can I say this?

You know what makes me nuts?

The fact that we could be together

Here together

Sharing our night, spending our time

And you are gonna choose someone else to be with... no, you are

Yes, Jamie, that's exactly what you're doing:

You could be here with me

Or be there with them...

As usual, guess which you pick!

No, Jamie, you do not have to go to another party...

With the same twenty jerks you already know

You could stay with your wife on her fucking birthday

And you could, God forbid, even see my show

And I know in your soul it must drive you crazy

That you won't get to play with your little girlfriends...

No I'm not, no I'm not!... and the point is, Jamie

That you can't spend a single day

That's not about

You and you and nothing but you

Marvelous novelist, you!

Isn't he wonderful, just twenty-eight!

The savior of writing!

You and you and nothing but you...

Miles and piles of you

Pushing through windows and bursting through walls

En route to the sky!

And I...

I swear to God I'll never understand

How you can stand there, straight and tall

And see I'm crying

And not do anything at all...
