By The Way

I'm smiling in the afternoon

I've got a lot to do

And it's a beautiful day

Walking with the confidence and the common sense

That I've had since last May

Following after you

Feels like I've covered every longitude

Doing what I have to do and never doing it again

Feeling like I walked away from the saddest taste

And you're my favorite flavor

A little cherry lemonade and a tiny hint that I couldn't savor

Following after you

Feels like I've covered every longitude

Doing what I have to do and never doing it again

By the way, I'm still the same

Everything you ran away from is still here

Laughing at me, making faces

I'm still the same, by the way

And I know what you'll say when you hear this

I can picture the look on your face

And I'm glad I don't have to see it

'Cause seeing it wouldn't make me happy anyway

And I know what you'll say when you hear this

I can picture the look on your face

And I'm glad I don't have to see it

'Cause seeing it wouldn't make me happy anyway

By the way, I'm still the same

Laughing at me, making faces

I'm still the same, by the way
