Almost a smile
Like the sun here in November
Almost a smile

Almost a smile
Lakes that glitter behind trees
Blinking lamps in dusky streets
Almost a smile

Almost a smile
Like the bliss of northern summer
Hopefulness with the new-comer

Very casual and unstable
like a guest will leave the table

Like a day when nothing happens
when you were sure the worst would happen
Almost a smile

Like a word that isn't worthless
that you haven't heard in lies yet
Almost a smile

Like the presence of a stranger
when you've lived in constant danger
Almost a smile

Passing cars, surprising comfort
Like a lover at the airport
Almost a smile
