Lyrics

"[Verse 1]
I've been told if you let good God in
You'll be shown what your entire path looks like written
I look back on just last year and who I was
I'm so different
Things have changed me
Responsibilities, hurt and pain
Yeah, if you hear me, I'm praying that my path is written

[Chorus]
And I keep trying to write happy songs
I'm screaming to the sky
Wanna hear your song
I'm losing grip on my feet
But I can't fall
I don't know who'll catch me
So I keep trying to write happy songs
The big men have told me I got it all wrong
Like, what about parties?
Something that will move all of their feet
But you don't even know
No, you don't even know
No, you don't even know
You don't even know me
And I don't even know
No, I don't even know
No, I don't even know
I don't even know me

[Verse 2]
The priest speaks and tells me
Walk the grass, hear the song, listen

[Chorus]
So, I listen and try to write a happy song
But I'm screaming to the sky
I must hear this wrong
I'm losing grip on my feet
But I can't fall
I don't know who'll catch me
So I keep trying to write happy songs
The big men have told me I got it all wrong
Like, what about parties?
Something that will move all of their...

[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la
One, two, three, four
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
Ooh ooh
Aah aah
Aah aah


[Outro]
I keep trying to write happy songs
I'm screaming to the sky
Wanna hear your song
I'm losing grip on my feet
But I can't fall
I don't know who'll catch me"
