Smiling Like An Idiot

[Verse 1]

Me and Joe, we go dancing in Manchester

With the band sitting back at the bar

And on the way home, we stop for a photo

You grin with your teeth, look how happy we are

And on my birthday, we do karaoke

And meet at Lord Edward beside the cathedral

Domino told me that it was her favourite

So I go and bring all of my favourite people

[Chorus]

Hey, baby, swing for the bases

Keep going, don't trade places

I'm smiling like an idiot again

Hey, baby, swing for the fences

Whatever consequences

I'm smiling like an idiot again

[Verse 2]

I get back to Dublin and sleep for an hour

Then dart into Tara, thеre's rain on the ground

Well, I didn't know, I just hopеd that you'd make it

I wasn't ready to say that out loud

Maybe a part of me knew all along

Maybe I shouldn't have sent you that song

The second-floor window, the sun coming down

I knew I loved you when you turned around

[Chorus]

Hey, baby, swing for the bases

Keep going, don't trade places

I'm smiling like an idiot again

Hey, baby, swing for the fences

Whatever consequences

I'm smiling like an idiot again

[Bridge]

Where does it go, the calendar year?

It's Friday so we get Friday souvenirs

And on the way home, we pass the cathedral

I never knew I could be so happy here

[Chorus]

So, hey, baby, swing for the bases

Keep going, don't trade places

I'm smiling like an idiot again

Hey, baby, swing for the fences

Whatever consequences

I'm smiling like an idiot again

[Outro]

Yeah, I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

I'm smiling like an idiot again

(That was awful, yeah, let's do one more)
