Trust me,
believe me,
it's really hard not to be happy these days.
A lot of things bring a smile to my face
and make me want to stay.
I like to live among the whitecaps
and taste the cool marine air.
I like to take lazy walks throughout town,
with a stiff wind messing my hair.
The sunshine blinds me,
but honestly that's okay.
As long as I'm here,
and it's this day today
I'll always be happy,
happy enough to stay.
Of course it's still there,
dark and brooding.
Sometimes it resurfaces,
my mind uprooted.
But then I look around
at all this natural beauty
and I think to myself,
"What am I doing?
I'm not done,
there's plenty more here for me.
Let's go have some fun,
in this wonderful saltwater land
by the sea."
Will you take my hand,
and traipse about?
Will you come with me,
and dance in this small town by the sea?
