Happy Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, kid, don't quit your daydream yet
I know you feel locked out in the cold
Seems like you’re lost and alone
Hey, kid, don't listen to your head
It only fills you with dread and with doubt
Left looking for an easy way out
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you don't know
Oh no, you don’t know
[Chorus]
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
Walls of isolation inside of my pain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
All of this frustration inside of my brain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
[Verse 2]
Some nights, you call for the jaws of life
To pull you out of the crash
A forgotten ghost from your past
When enough doesn't cut it
When you're backed up against a wall
Is it the life that you wanted
When you could never have it all?
[Chorus]
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
Walls of isolation inside of my pain
And I don't know if I’m ready to change
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
All of this frustration inside of my brain
And I don’t know if I'm ready to change
[Bridge]
Face down in the deep end
Face down every weekend
Face down and I’m bleeding
There's no sound when you're leaving
We faced all of our demons
We chased all of our dreams and
Don't know where it leads us
We don’t care at all
[Chorus]
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
Walls of isolation inside of my pain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
(Face down in the deep end)
Happy days, happy days
(Face down every weekend)
All of this frustration inside of my brain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
[Outro]
I wanna feel happy days

The song actually started off with a beat that Travis had written. We got in the studio. It was something that Travis and I had talked about it before, and then they came in.
