about

Smooth Sailing combines alternative and modern rock influences to create a somber, moody tune that helps tell a story of recovery. “It’s all smooth sailing from here,” is crooned over a simple melodious bass line that sits in the forefront of the chorus helping shed light on the feeling of mending a broken heart. Of all of the songs on “What’s On Your Mind?”, Smooth Sailing presents the deepest and darkest tone but still manages to provide a feeling of resolution through not only the title of the song, but also the soft spoken melody in the outro

lyrics

You caught me staring deep in your direction.
In an old familiar way.
Then I looked on toward the door.
Wonderin' should I go, or should I stay?
Caught deep inside my mind - it's this constant debate.
I'm on the winning side this time - carrying my weight. My weight.
It's all smooth sailing from here.
The storms have all cleared.
I'm diving in without you now.
I've lost all sense of fear.
I'm drifting away as i shed one single tear.
The storms are all gone - smooth sailing from here.
Don't try to tell me this is temporary.
I'm reminded each time I catch you staring.
I'm not too far behind you - in the direction that you're bearing.
Attracted to the disguise that you're always wearing.
No no no no no no no no.
It's all smooth sailing from here.
The storms have all cleared.
I'm diving in without you now.
I've lost all sense of fear.
I'm drifting away as i shed one single tear.
The storms are all gone - smooth sailing from here.
