Happy - Nerina Pallot

Oh, what webs we weave, what little things begin

In epic fortune or disaster

Oh, how could you know how it would all unfold

In the seconds in-between her smile and your laughter?

So, you had a little boy;

then you had a little girl;

Then you bought a bigger house: you were happy with your world

But one day you woke up — and you had a question

And, no matter what you do and no matter what you know

You cannot feel at all, you cannot fill the hole

But you carry on, 'cause everyone carries on

And I’m so happy you’re so happy

Oh, my god, I’m crying!

I do my best each day to keep my head up and keep smiling

I’m so happy you’re so happy

We’re so good at lying

I’m so happy you’re so happy

How you pass a life and make it meaningful?

How do you make it all make sense, and know what it is for?

Do you buy a book or two and learn them off-by-heart

Then wander aimless through halls and corridors?

So, I’ll have a little boy, if I cannot have a girl

I’ll buy a bigger house and I’ll try to save the world-

Or carry on, I’ll just try to carry on…

And I’m so happy you’re so happy

Oh, my god, I’m crying!

I do my best each day to keep my head up and keep smiling

I’m so happy you’re so happy

We’re so good at lying

I’m so happy you’re so happy…

‘Cause love comes quickly, when you least expect it-

But so does sorrow, when you least expect it

Oh, love comes quickly, when you least expect it

But so does sorrow, when you least expect it

Oh, oh, oh…

Yeah

I’m so happy you’re so happy

Oh, my god, I’m crying!

I do my best each day to keep my head up and keep smiling

I’m so happy you’re so happy

We’re so good at lying

I’m so happy you’re so happy, yeah

I’m so happy you’re so happy

Look at us, look at us;

we’re breaking down

I’m so happy you’re so happy

Look at us, look at us;

distant now

I’m so happy you’re so happy

Look at us, look at us;

we’re breaking down

I’m so happy you’re so happy

Look at us, look at us…

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

Yeah, ooh, ooh…
