Oh, what webs we weave, what little things begin
In epic fortune or disaster.
Oh, how could you know how it would all unfold
In the seconds in-between her smile and your laughter?
So, you had a little boy; then you had a little girl;
Then you bought a bigger house: you were happy with your world.
But one day you woke up – and you had a question.
And, no matter what you do and no matter what you know,
You cannot feel at all, you cannot fill the hole.
But you carry on, ’cause everyone carries on.
And I’m so happy you’re so happy.
Oh, my god, I’m crying!
I do my best each day to keep my head up and keep smiling.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
We’re so good at lying.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
How you pass a life and make it meaningful?
How do you make it all make sense, and know what it is for?
Do you buy a book or two and learn them off-by-heart,
Then wander aimless through halls and corridors?
So, I’ll have a little boy, if I cannot have a girl.
I’ll buy a bigger house and I’ll try to save the world-
Or carry on, I’ll just try to carry on…
And I’m so happy you’re so happy.
Oh, my god, I’m crying!
I do my best each day to keep my head up and keep smiling.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
We’re so good at lying.
I’m so happy you’re so happy…
‘Cause love comes quickly, when you least expect it-
But so does sorrow, when you least expect it.
Oh, love comes quickly, when you least expect it,
But so does sorrow, when you least expect it.
Oh, oh, oh…
Yeah.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
Oh, my god, I’m crying!
I do my best each day to keep my head up and keep smiling.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
We’re so good at lying.
I’m so happy you’re so happy, yeah.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
Look at us, look at us; we’re breaking down.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
Look at us, look at us; distant now.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
Look at us, look at us; we’re breaking down.
I’m so happy you’re so happy.
Look at us, look at us…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
Yeah, ooh, ooh…
