Happy is presumably, the most Pop-Punk-influenced track on the album; it's light on the ears but weighs heavy on your heart.
Originally demoed with Guy Battaglia, Joseph Enright, Mathew Herman, Kevin Houston, and Chris Russo at Stephen Kellner's studio.
lyrics
Happy:
Are we alone?
I’m in my driveway on the phone pacing back and forth until you get home
Are you still sad, I mean I hope that you’re not mad
People change it’s sometimes for the best
And when I need you the most
Is when I’m not even close to happy
So I will suffer and go
Through all the motions until you’re happy now
You’re not alone
The feeling sucks, it comes and goes
But nothing good or bad will last this long
And it’s so nice to see you
I’ve tried so hard to reach you
After everything that we’ve been through
After all that we’ve been through
And when I need you the most
Is when I’m not even close to happy
So I will suffer and go
Through all the motions until you’re happy now
And when I need you the most
Is when I’m not even close to happy
So I will suffer and go
Through every motion, until we’re happy
Through all the motions until you’re happy now
