She brings lawn chairs to the beach
So we can sit and eat our sandwiches
And talk about how the spaceships
Are coming soon to pick us up
And her T-shirt lists the tour dates
From seven years before our birthdays
And we go on about foreign policy
While they listen to our phones

There's good and there's bad
We fight, we get mad
But we're happy (happy, happy, happy, ah)
She wants more than she has
She blames God and her dad
But we're happy (happy, happy, happy, ah)

There are 16 shades of violet
And some are loud and some are silent
She writes apologies 'stead of the Thank You cards
'Cause humility keeps her whole
And she skips New Year's and Christmas
'Cause it reminds her of the distance
She feels from everyone else around her
In a crowded mall, she's most alone

She digs too deep
She feels, she can't sleep
But she's happy (happy, happy, happy, ah)
She's strong, but she's scared
She don't let herself go there
And she's happy (happy, happy, happy, ah)

Cloudy with a chance of Sun
She pulls a polo on
She's gonna make me talk
Coffee in a plastic cup
I walk her to her bus

On the quiet drive to Ohi'
To see her mom's hospital skyline
Where she sang to her for the last time
This very day, four years ago
And in silence, we connect to
The only ones we could sit next to
The only ones that we made sense to
I held her hand the whole way home

And we cried, we ate
But we laugh always
'Cause we're happy
I'm hers and she's mine
We're messed up, but it's fine
'Cause we're happy (happy, happy, happy, ah)

Cloudy with a chance of Sun
She pulls a polo on
She's gonna make me talk
Coffee in a plastic cup
I walk her to her bus
