Song lyrics
I got a story, it's almost finished 
All I need is someone to tell it to 
Maybe that's you 

Our time is borrowed, spent too freely 
Every minute I have, needs to be made up…but how? 
I'm looking for a nice way to say “I'm Out.” 
I want out. 

I fall asleep with my friends around me 
The only place I know I feel safe. 
I'm gonna call this home. 
The open road is still miles away 
Ain't nothin serious, we still have our fun 
Oh, we had it once. 

But windows open and close that's just how it goes 
Don't it feel like sunshine after all? 
The world we love forever gone? 
We're only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think 
We are. 

I'm in love with the ordinary. 
I need a simple space to rest my head 
And everything gets clear. 
I'm a little ashamed for asking 
For just a little help 
It get's me straight again 
Helps me get over, over it 

It might seem like a dream but it's real to me 
Don't it feel like sunshine after all? 
The world we love forever gone? 
We're only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think 
We are. 

You should see the canals are freezing 
You should see me high 
You should just be here 
Be with me here. 
It doesn't seem there's hope for me 
I let you down 
But I won't give in now 
Not for any amount. 

Don't it feel like sunshine after all? 
The world we love forever gone? 
We're only just as happy, as everyone else thinks. 

Now, don't it feel like sunshine after all? 
The world we love forever gone? 
We're only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think 
We are.

"We’re only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think we are..."

What a true line...my absolute favorite in the song, and it just pulls the whole song together. Because despite how awful things are, all you have to do is put on a happy face, not truly be happy, and people will think that. GREAT LYRICS!

LOL! i can only imagine how that went over! yeah, they write songs that you can really relate to, and i think that's one of the reasons their popularity has so vastly.

when they say "we're only just as happy as everyone else seems to think we are"

what do they mean? Because I would have thought u can trick someone into thinking that you're happy.. so ur not as happy as they think u r... but maybe people just see through that??
