Smile Like You Mean It

“Don’t Need Much” and The Electric Sons’ previous single, “Real Life,” were recorded in a single day at Maze Studios in Atlanta, GA. The song explores the simple yet overwhelming desire to have it all — a yearning that feels at once like a fundamental human need and an extravagant dream. The pursuit of happiness, lasting love, shared ideals, and a bit of control over life can drive a person mad when it always seems just out of reach.

lyrics:

winter days calling out for me
and i know i can't fight off the cold
we're in too deep
and you thought i wouldn't know

i see all the things inside your mind
you can put it on me
you can put it on me
and darling if you need a place to cry
you can put it on me
you can put it on me
i hope you know (put it on me, put it all on me)
know (oh darling)
know (put it on me, put it all on me)
know

if someone hurt your soul
and you've lost all your hope
just let me know when you need a hand to hold
cause i've been down and broken
lost in all emotion
and the silence gets so violent

i see all the things inside your mind
you can put it on me
you can put it on me
and darling if you need a place to cry
you can put it on me
you can put it on me

just don't go burning bridges we haven't crossed
i know it's hard to stop
when you feel beaten down 
voices in your head get loud
i'll make sure you don't lose hope

i see all the things inside your mind
you can put it on me
you can put it on me
and darling if you need a place to cry
you can put it on me
you can put it on me
i hope you know (put it on me, put it all on me)
know (oh darling)
know (put it on me, put it all on me)
know

i see all the things inside your mind
you can put it on me
you can put it on me
