Jeff Sager - Happy?

Today I'm happy. Will that enhance my writing
Do people really want to hear a happy guy's thoughts
Today I'm happy, but that's not that exciting
Will this song be boring? Will it all be for naught
I know I normally sing about my issues and my demons
But today I really have none, today I'm in the zone
Please just join me on this journey
Hell, who needs a reason to swim into the depths of ecstasy previously unknown

The sun is shining. The birds are chirping
That pretty girl wears a flower on her dress
Girls are so delightful. They make me even happier
I marvel at their loveliness. Ahh, but I digress

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la lee lee, la la la la lo lo, la la la la li li, la la la lu

This is the most boring fucking song I've ever written
How can I make this interesting? How will I make them laugh
Pharrell made it look so easy. The whole damn world was smitten
All he said was he was happy, although his was choreographed
Nobody's gonna like this, 'cause I'm not cool like Pharrell
This whole day I was floating, but now I start to sink
There's a time and place to spread joy, and it's called a Christmas carroll
Oh wait, that's right I'm Jewish. And that's more relevant than you think

Hello self-doubt, how are you? I guess you were expected
'Cause I cannot be happy for more than like an hour
One look in my inner mirror, it's clear my happiness reflected
My ever-fleeting good mood, which my sadness did devour
Are you people fucking happy, now that I'm crashing and burning
Is this more entertaining? Does my anguish make you smile
I don't mean to be snappy, it's just kind of concerning
That if I want to be happy, my art will be futile

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, fuck you, la la la la la
La la la la lee lee, la la la la lo lo, la la la la li li, nothing matters, la la la la lu

This here artistic process, this path that I'm pursuing
Is emotionally unsustainable, yet still meant to be lifelong
Excessive self-awareness will be my ultimate undoing
But hey wait I'm kinda happy again, 'cause now I've got a song

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, I might be bipolar, la la la la la
La la la la lee lee, la la la la lo lo, la la la la li li, I'm definitely bipolar la la la la lu
Wait, fuck now I'm sad
