Happier Me - Dickie

Happier me

I saw the posts, I read the texts

I got the notes, I get the gist

To make a happier me

Well it all goes better

When the talk and the tone

Lay sleepy in my bedroom

A lover not prepared to

What happened to me?

I had a head, I had a heart

I paid the rent, I aced the part

Oh god, what happened to me?

Dizzy on my legs

On the pace I’m taking

Turning ugly corners

Settled in and sober

Who lined the coffin

You made it such a pretty shade

Who lined the coffin

Play a waltz for the promenade

Ain’t it amazing how the skin can fade

Who lined the coffin

Able to speak

With the words like cables

Pulling on my muscles

So hard to repeat

In the conversations

Taking over

Calling up my old world

Silhouettes and sojourns

Who lined the coffin

You made it such a pretty shade

Who lined the coffin

Play a waltz for the promenade

Ain’t it amazing how the skin just fades

Who lined the coffin

Lay down my mother

So that she’s not alone

Lay down my father

To take her back home

Who lined the coffin

You made it such a pretty shade

Who lined the coffin

Play a waltz for the promenade

Ain’t it amazing how the skin can fade

Who lined the coffin.
