lyrics

She says I'm always happy, I say it's happy genes, an you can wear them out whenever I'm around
Last night I went to sleep, and I woke up crazy, coz we don't go chasing freaks.
she says I wanna be happy, like they are in the movies, where every second makes you feel alive.
she asked me what are we doing, just staying in Sutton, coz every day is a day we can run away.

If you get me, come with me again, I promise you ten out of ten, we'll drive this car into the sun.
Or we can stay here and pretend, coz pretending is what I do best, I’ll cull my lazy reign.

You know you said it was easy, but you're always on my back, telling me things I lack, wrapped up in your loose change.
You said I’d better give up my dreaming, coz none of us are good enough, but you shoot down anyone,
that doesn’t think the same.
So if you wanna be happy, like they are in the movies, then I suggest you get the hell out of this town.

Big dreams they make you feel lazy, fall asleep in the same old bed,
Small town is all we are lately, make it get loud, make it get loud.

It kinda hurts what I wanna say, it’s my fault for leading you on, now we get burnt so much easier than we did before.
So I lied said my heart was brave, the best song that I ever wrote, you and me we are just the same, two kids who can’t even throw, all the sadness away.
