[Verse 1]
Night takes the sunny day, walk out the people race
I know everyone is missing someone but it stopped me
And I saw someone like you
And they looked so much like you
I wave to the dog and smile to a neighbour
She's getting older, I don't want to think of you
Think of the sunny day
Think of the sunny day
[Pre-Chorus]
So I put some music on
I'm walking to a song that can set this street on fire
It's strange how a song can do that sometimes
I'd spent three days at home
So I'm going to the place where my friends dance out of time
Out of time
[Chorus]
Meet me at the old bar, we can keep the cold out
Everyone is dancing, singing and we'll feel so safe inside
We'll watch the people spinning
You know that I love you, but I think it's over
Will it still be over, always? I don't know
The lights are gold and low
Tonight, I need a happy song, happy song
[Refrain]
Da-da, da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
[Verse 2]
Have you seen her lately? Taylor's found her way
She's happier, I saw her at the funeral for Jake's dad
He's quieter these days
He's quieter these days
But do you still love him? You told me that once
It's been months and he needs you, just call him
You stop me, and you ask if I miss her
Of course I still miss her
[Pre-Chorus]
So please leave the music on
We'll slip into a song that can take us from our minds
It's strange how a song can do that sometimes
I'm feeling all alone
Standing in the corner while my friends dance out of time
Out of time
[Chorus]
Meet me at the old bar, we can keep the cold out
Everyone is dancing, singing and we'll feel so safe inside
We'll watch the people spinning
You know that I love you, but I think it's over
Will it still be over, always? I don't know
The lights are gold and low
Tonight, I need a happy song, happy song
[Refrain]
Da-da, da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
[Verse 3]
Do you remember the cold winter breath?
The lights and the trees sang for Christmas
The crowd on the steps was all so still and quiet
You put your hand in mine
My friends are calling, I have to go
We shouldn't be talking, it all ends in fighting
And I don't care who's right
We'll leave the phone in silence
[Refrain]
Da-da, da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
[Chorus]
Meet me at the old bar, we can keep the cold out
Everyone is dancing, singing and we'll feel so safe inside
We'll watch the people spinning
You know that I love you, but I think it's over
Will it still be over, always? I don't know
The lights are gold and low
Tonight, I need a happy song, happy song
[Refrain]
Da-da, da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da

“‘Happy Song’ is stage two of ‘I Didn’t Know’ when I was just sad, starting to move on, and going out with friends. It follows us when we both really understood there was nothing left. I wanted to get across the feeling of just wanting to escape grieving the relationship and feeling a little bit of...
