I WAS WRONG ABOUT HAPPY

LYRICS

I Was Wrong About Happy

Verse 1I used to judge a Friday
By how little I remembered
By the names I had to save
And the nights that ran together

Then the diner lost its power
We ate pie by the phone light
You made me laugh so hard
I forgot to check the time

Pre-ChorusNo fireworks, no warning
No big movie scene
Just a little ordinary moment
Changing everything

ChorusI was wrong about happy
Thought it had to hit like thunder
Thought love was a house on fire
And you had to run for cover

But it's your jacket on the chair
And that off-key song you sing
It's the way a quiet Tuesday
Can feel like everything

I was wrong about happy
And I don't wanna be right again

Verse 2Now there's coffee in the kitchen
And your boots beside the door
There's a list of things we gotta do
And another bill we can't ignore

We've had nights we barely spoke
And days that didn't go our way
But even when the shine wears off
You give me reasons I should stay

Pre-ChorusNo perfect words, no promises
That everything will be alright
Just somebody sitting next to me
When it's been a long, hard night

ChorusI was wrong about happy
Thought it had to hit like thunder
Thought love was a house on fire
And you had to run for cover

But it's your jacket on the chair
And that off-key song you sing
It's the way a quiet Tuesday
Can feel like everything

I was wrong about happy
And I don't wanna be right again

BridgeI spent so long chasing lightning
I never noticed the sun
Some things don't have to burn you
To show you they're the one

Final ChorusI was wrong about happy
Thought it had to hit like thunder
Thought love was a house on fire
And you had to run for cover

But it's your jacket on the chair
And that off-key song you sing
It's the way a quiet Tuesday
Can feel like everything

I was wrong about happy
And I don't wanna be right again

OutroI don't wanna be right again
