Happy

3 o'clock tripping down the sidewalk
Looking like a fool with a pocket full of questions
I was, living in a worry
Moving in a hurry
In the wrong direction
But then, suddenly it hit me
Doesn't really matter 'cause i got you with me
I think i don' t have to be so down, down, down, down, down
Chorus
I should be happy
I should be happy
I should be living up these days
Just like i know who runs this place
Now that you found me
I should be happy
3:30, got a little dirty
Fear stuck its foot out and i tripped on the same lie
That voice screaming into my head
Pushing me to play dead
Saying, "don't you even try"
But how can i claim to be free
When i carry more chains than the world when they see me?
I don't wanna be the fool who stays down, down, down, down, down
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Now i'm not talking 'bout a smile so fake
While the world takes pictures 24/7
I just want my faith to be a little more real
What you see is what you get
What you see is how i feel
Repeat chorus
