lyrics

Writing songs makes me happy
Writing songs makes me happy

Most days I don’t wanna write songs,
I don’t wanna write songs, I don’t wanna I don’t wanna I don’t
Most days if I try to write songs,
It’ll turn out all wrong like I knew it would all along but

Sometimes fate will smile at me
and give me a song I like
It’s been a while, I forgot how it feels

Writing songs makes me happy
Writing songs makes me happy

The world is messed up, and so are you
And so am I so what am I supposed to do?
Try to stay busy, avoid going crazy
Try not to think of the meaninglessness of this life that we’re facing

Maybe it’s all just a distraction
from a pointless life
Maybe it’s okay to have fun

Writing songs makes me happy
Writing songs makes me happy
