Lyrics
0:11Well I've been pacin' this room for forty hours
0:17Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call
0:22And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle
0:27I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile
0:34And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times
0:39You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind
0:44I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin
0:48And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin'
0:58But what if I'd said happy instead
1:03Is the way that I reckon it should be
1:09And if you called you'd say that you're okay
1:15And I'd be wishin' I was there
1:18'Cause you're happy instead
1:24Happy instead
1:30And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had
1:36Happy at times but mostly just mad
1:41Maybe it'd worked out maybe it'd be fine
1:46But every day your smile ain't showin' seems a waste of time
1:54So what if I'd said happy instead
2:00Is the way that I reckon it should be
2:05And if you called you'd say that you're okay
2:11And I'd be wishin' I was there
2:15'Cause you're happy instead
2:20Happy instead
2:27It's been ten years I hadn't called you once
2:32When you called last night and my child up and jumped
2:37He asked who you were and you did the same
2:43Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name
2:51What if I'd said happy instead
2:57Is the way that I reckon I should be
3:02And if you called you'd hear that I was okay
3:08And you'd be wishin' you was there
3:11'Cause I'm happy instead
3:17Happy instead
3:22Oh I'm happy instead
3:28Happy instead
3:35What if I'd said happy instead
3:40Is the way that I reckon I should be
3:45And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay
3:51And you'd be wishin' you was dead
3:55'Cause I'm happy instead
Well I've been pacin' this room for forty hours Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin' But what if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon it should be And if you called you'd say that you're okay And I'd be wishin' I was there 'Cause you're happy instead Happy instead And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had Happy at times but mostly just mad Maybe it'd worked out maybe it'd be fine But every day your smile ain't showin' seems a waste of time So what if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon it should be And if you called you'd say that you're okay And I'd be wishin' I was there 'Cause you're happy instead Happy instead It's been ten years I hadn't called you once When you called last night and my child up and jumped He asked who you were and you did the same Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name What if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon I should be And if you called you'd hear that I was okay And you'd be wishin' you was there 'Cause I'm happy instead Happy instead Oh I'm happy instead Happy instead What if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon I should be And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay And you'd be wishin' you was dead 'Cause I'm happy instead
