"Say Yes" is the final track of Elliott Smith's 1997 album, and one of three tracks from that was used in the soundtrack of Good Will Hunting.
"Say Yes" is one of Smith's widely recognized songs. It is happy and optimistic in both instrumentation and lyrics, which contrasts with the dark tone in most of his other songs. In an interview, Smith said that the song was written about "someone particular and I almost never do that. I was really in love with someone."
Smith performed the song often, even during full band shows, in which he would play the song solo on an acoustic guitar. "Say Yes" was the last original composition that he ever played live.
"Say Yes" has been covered by Death Cab for Cutie. It was also covered in an episode of One Tree Hill, when Bryan Greenburg sings to his daughter Jenny.
Say Yes
Artist: Elliott Smith
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up a month ago, and I grew up - I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after
It's always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
and feel like shit the morning after
But now I feel changed around and instead of falling down
I'm standing up the morning after
Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No-one says until it shows and you see how it is
They want you or they don't
Say yes
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
