Whilst I was writing “Dear Happy”, I was thinking I was writing a letter to happiness. It’s more about writing a letter to yourself, or your past/present/future self. You know happiness isn’t always there, but it’s not always absent. Basically, we are just made of our experiences, our adventures, ou...
[Verse 1]
I started thinking I should open my mouth and
Let the words out, yeah
Let the words out, yeah
I know they'll happen if I only allow them
They'll come as a crowd, yeah
Out as a crowd, yeah
[Chorus]
Dear happy, don't go
Not there, but I'm close
I just always thought I'd never win
Dear happy, you see
It's not easy for me
But I know that I'm close
'Cause I feel
That it's here for us
And it's real
And it's real for us
[Verse 2]
Don't you worry, oh no, don't be alarmed
I'm just working it out here, working it out here
I'm somebody with a recovering heart
You've waited there for me
Keep waiting there for me
[Chorus]
Dear happy, don't go
Not there, but I'm close
I just always thought I'd never win
Dear happy, you see
It's not easy for me
But I know that I'm close
'Cause I feel
That it's here for us
And it's real
And it's real for us
[Breakdown]
Oh
Ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Dear happy, don't go
Not there, but I'm close
I just always thought I'd never win
Dear happy, you see
It's not easy for me
But I'm closer than I've ever been

In an interview with Apple Music, Aplin said:
Liz Horsman—who I wrote ‘Miss You’ and ‘So Far so Good’ with—and I wanted to write a letter to happiness. It was her idea, actually. We only had the ‘Dear happy/ please leave a light on’ line for ages. It was like a postcard. While on tour in the US a f...
