[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
[Verse 1]
I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name
Like I wouldn't know it's you
At your most beautiful
[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
[Verse 2]
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly
With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep
I know your closed eye watching me
Listening
I thought I saw a smile
[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
[Verse 1]
I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name
Like I wouldn't know it's you
At your most beautiful
[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
[Verse 2]
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly
With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep
I know your closed eye watching me
Listening
I thought I saw a smile
[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
