[Verse 1]

I'm tied down

I'm all out of gas

I turned down the chance

Didn't want to fall out of bed

I'm holding back all the time

'Cause everything is overgrown and tired

I'm hanging by a thread on a vine

I'm asking for help from above

I'm trying to find that reason to love

[Verse 2]

'Cause I'm a debt

I'm rolling back

You make amends, you give what you get

I'm holding back all the signs

When I really should have called you that night

It eats me alive all the time

I remembered I had something to give

I'm trying to find that reason to live

[Pre-Chorus]

(It's all you know when our time is all gone)

[Chorus]

In all this time, I hope you find

A way to be happier, happier

Through all the lights, the darkest nights

I wish you were happier, happier

And all you know, this world's so cold

So won't you pretend like we could never wonder why?

In all this time, I hope you find

A way to be happier, happier

[Breakdown]

Turning my back, turning my back again

Never look back, never look back again

I'm taking my time, I'm learning to let you in

But I needed you to guide me out from here

I know you see right through me

We all went blind

The hand goes backwards

I count the time

[Chorus]

In all this time, I hope you find

A way to be happier, happier

Through all the lights, the darkest nights

I wish you were happier, happier

And all you know, this world's so cold

So won't you pretend like we could never wonder why?

In all this time, I hope you find

A way to be happier, happier

[Outro]

Happier, happier

Happier, happier
