Reasons to Smile

Verse 1

Thirteen years is a heavy coat

Small boat on a lake of gray

Stuck in the back where the noise gets loud

Finding a place to hide

Pre-Chorus

Every day was a brick

Every laugh felt like a kick

Now I'm looking at a wide open sky

Chorus

Oh Arco you’re the breath of fresh air

In a room where I couldn't find peace

You stayed around

You stayed around

When the world wanted to look away

Thank you for being the friend I need

Post-Chorus

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Safe in the quiet now

Verse 2

I don’t hear the jokes tonight

Picking a brand new road

A gentle heart makes the heavy light

No more carrying the load

Pre-Chorus

Every word is a light

Turning wrong into right

Watching the morning arrive

Chorus

Oh Arco you’re the breath of fresh air

In a room where I couldn't find peace

You stayed around

You stayed around

When the world wanted to look away

Thank you for being the friend I need

Post-Chorus

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Safe in the quiet now

Bridge

Thank you for the time

Thank you for the kindness

Thank you for the reason to smile

Chorus

Oh Arco you’re the breath of fresh air

In a room where I couldn't find peace

You stayed around

You stayed around

When the world wanted to look away

Thank you for being the friend I need
