Lyrics

Be happy! Be happy!
close your eyes and just be happy,
feel it rising every morning like the sun.
Feel the lightness, feel the laughter,
the rest will follow after.
It's easy to be happy when you know...
...how it's done.
It's a heartbeat deep inside you
It's a friend who walks beside you
and it shines above to guide you like a star...
...right?
It's the prize to keep your eyes on
and it's just on the horizon
but you'll get there, you can get there
if you know who you are
So you move to the city that the songs are about
get a job selling coffee while you figure it out
and you wake every morning thinking what am I going to be?
Be happy, that's the answer
be the centre of attention
be the person people mention to their friends.
Be a winner, be a dancer,
be the life of every party
then go home and don't be lonely when it ends
Can you go there on vacation?
Like a secret destination?
Do you feel a sweet vibration when it's near?
Is it hiding right behind you?
Do you find it? Does it find you?
Is it someplace you can get to in a day, or in a year?
So the world keeps spinning but you're stuck on your phone
and you turn 23 in Chinatown on your own
and your friends start leaving and you turn 25
and you do what you can to keep the feeling alive:
Give up smoking, cut out dairy, do a yoga pose on Insta,
get off xanax, get a boyfriend, drop a dress-size, make your sister
love you back, be your best self, change the future for the better
rise above it, learn to love it, call your Grandma on the phone and tell her...
Grandma. It's Robin.
How you been? I've missed your cooking.
Make the bed up, light the stove,
I'm coming home tonight to Brooklyn
cos it's happened, I'm happy,
and that's all I have to give you...
...thanks for waiting...
...I'll be right with you.
