Happy Days

You say I’m a daydreamer

You say I’m just livin’ in my head

That I can’t hear a thing you said

You say you’re livin’ with Beckett

I say, down here it’s all James Joyce

And I don’t really have a choice

‘Cause every time we talk

There’s a missed connection

Something between the words

Every time we talk

I just feel I can’t be heard

You say speak up don’t mumble

I say, doesn’t really matter

What I do

‘Cause I’m just tryin’ to

Stumble through

And every time we talk

There’s a missed connection

Something between the words

Every time we talk

I just feel I can’t be heard

Oh, happy days

In our strange land

Where words must fail

And I get buried in the sand

Cause every time we talk

There’s a missed connection

Something between the words

Every time we talk

I just miss my good times girl

And every time we talk

There’s a missed connection

Something that went off track

Every time we talk

I wish I could bring it back

Speak up don’t mumble

Speak up don’t mumble
