lyrics

I was in trouble, been drifting down that road so long,
In a bubble, a little place that I felt I belonged.
Would she tremble, if she knew how I'd been feeling since we
Separated, though maybe it's best not to care.

In a picture, painted by my own self doubt,
I found problems, ones that I could have done without.
So I left them high on a shelf that's out of reach, And now I've grown a smile.

'Cos I'm up high,
Wondering why I was so up tight,
Souring the skies now.
Got lots to learn, but I'm alive and singing
Happy now that's out the way,
Happy now that's out the way.

In the future, I'll pay a penny for my thoughts.
Not to keep them, just to settle feuds already fought.
If I'm lucky, find the pot of gold I'm searching for, It'll be worth it if the journey hasn't taken toll.

'Cos I'm up high,
Wondering why I was so up tight,
Souring the skies now,
Got lots to learn, but I'm alive and singing Happy now that's out the way,
Happy now that's out the way.

I'm sorry for the mess I made,
It was long ago and my mistake.
Call me your friend, now.
