Eisley – Smarter

  General Comment:I think the song is about moving on and knowing you're better off, even though it hurt for a while. I wonder if this is about Sherri's Ex husband Chad Gilbert, because she said something about how the divorce was inspiration for her musically and it devastated her.
  
  But I also think this song can be thought of as a song for an old friend, things went sour and they started hatin you, you try to apologize and feel awful about the ruined friendship, but then realized you were in the right all along, and you're better than that, and youre smarter than they think

  If I had one wish it'd be for you and all your friends that didn't like me
  If I had one wish it'd be that we had danced more at that apocryphal wedding
  If I sound angry, I'm sorry
  This body can only cry for so long
  And if you want to blame me, then go on
  I'm smiling now 'cause I'm smarter than you think
  
  I'm smarter than you
  I'm smarter than you think
  
  And I apologize for not telling you that my halo was cut from paper
  Sliced from the fibers that made up all the parts that we were together
  Even though I miss you, I'm thankful
  Its obvious that this war was futile
  So put your hands together and clap for
  The painful choice you've made 'cause it's right
  
  I'm smarter than you
  I'm smarter than you think
  I'm smarter than you
  I'm smarter than you think
  
  You are the narcissist
  You're everything you saw in me
  (Into the sea you fell
  In love with the reflection of yourself)
  You are the narcissist
  You're everything you saw in me
  (I felt the ocean's grip
  I swam away to watch you drift)
  You failed to see I'm smarter than you think
  I'm smarter than you think
  
  I'm smarter than you
  I'm smarter than you think
  I'm smarter than you
  I'm smarter than you think
  
  I'm smarter than you (I found out)
  I'm smarter than you think (The hard way this time)
  I'm smarter than you (We were right)
  I'm smarter than you think (This was all wrong)

  General Comment:Eisley just released this song and i can't stop listening.
  
  it's definitely more rocky and her voice sounds like she really is angry and so emotional. it's amazing to listen to and you can almost hear how Sherri's feeling.
  
  i can't wait for the record! i'm hoping to buy a red vinyl record before they're sold out too. just a couple more months! :D <3

  General Comment:I can't believe there haven't been more posts on this song either. It's beautiful and definitely "rockier." Like how Head Against the Sky was compared to their old stuff. Cannot wait for the LP 3.
