[Verse 1: Jack Avery & Jonah Marais]
You have my focus, I can't control it
I find your magic in every moment
No sleight of hand, 'cause you're my truth
And when in love the ordinary just won't do

[Chorus: Daniel Seavey]
You look so beautiful, you walked out of a dream
I never felt this way before, your eyes are all I need
To make forever feel like just a little while
I swear I'd walk, I'd run, I'd even learn to fly
Just to see you smile

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & All]
Just to see you smile
Just to see you smile
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
Just to see you smile
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way, have it your way

[Verse 2: Corbyn Besson & Zach Herron]
Without a question, you keep me guessing
And golden hearts find gentle hands with no exception
And if I hold you, we're bulletproof
And I don't care about nobody's point of view

[Chorus: Daniel Seavey]
You look so beautiful, you walked out of a dream
I never felt this way before, your eyes are all I need
To make forever feel like just a little while
I swear I'd walk, I'd run, I'd even learn to fly
Just to see you smile

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & All]
Just to see you smile
Just to see you smile
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
Just to see you smile
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way, have it your way

[Bridge: Jack Avery & Zach Herron]
And when you pull me close
I learn which side of gravity needs me most
Attracted to your everything
I know there's more than what meets the eye
I'd walk, I'd run, I'd even learn to fly
Just to see you smile

[Post-Bridge: Why Don't We & Daniel Seavey]
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
Just to see you smile
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way, have it your way
Just to see you smile
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way
Just to see you smile
You can make the world stop
You can have it your way, have it your way
Just to see you smile

Why Don’t We is a boy band consisting of Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais and Jack Avery. The members individually gained recognition over social media by posting covers and doing live streams. Seavey was also a contestant on season 14 of the American TV show American Idol. The group started activities on September 27, 2016, with the release of their two singles “Taking You” and “Nobody Gotta Know” and EP Only The Beginning, shortly thereafter.

The band gained a lot of recognition from their 2017 single “Something Different”. They went on to release four EPs in that year, notably gaining recognition for their collaboration with YouTuber Logan Paul, who also directed several of their music videos at this time.

Their first release in 2018, the Ed Sheeran-written “Trust Fund Baby,” ranked #2 on the American iTunes Chart, and was the band’s highest achievement to that date. They released three singles in June, July and August of that year preceding their first full length album on August 31, 2018. “Talk”, the second pre-release, peaked at #1 on the American iTunes Chart, surpassing their personal record just five months later.
