(Ready to Be) Happy

[Verse 1]
Take the bars off the windows
Unchain the door
It’s summer in LA
And I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready

To come out of hiding
Put on socks and shoes
To step out on the sidewalk
And try and try and try and try to

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Start feeling good again
Remember to hope
I’m blowing up my temperamental inner microscope

[Chorus]
I’m learning, learning how to breathe again
I’m learning, relearning to smile
I’m done overthinking every little thing
Ready to be happy for a while

[Verse 2]
Power down my laptop
Vacuum down the car
Roll down the windows
And drivе and drive and drive and drive and

Float down somе river
Forget where we are
Let mother nature take me
Squeeze me rock me lull me into

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Starting to feel good again
Forgetting to cry
Happy to be doing something more than getting by

[Chorus]
I’m learning, learning how to breathe again
I’m learning, relearning to smile
I’m done overthinking every little thing
Ready to be happy for a while

[Bridge]
Every day
I lie in bed
My shoes are on but full of lead

I try to stand up
My feet don’t move
I have much left to prove

And all this dreaming has left me paralyzed
Would it be that bad to lose?
And I make it to the dance floor
And shake off all my blues

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Starting to feel good again
Getting back my glow
Working on a project I abandoned long ago

[Chorus]
I’m learning, learning how to breathe again
I’m learning, relearning to smile
I’m done overthinking every single thing
Ready to be happy for a while
