I was sitting on the back of the bus,
Last night, just thinking about what happiness was
Can I have it after everything that's happened to us?
Yes I'm laughing as I'm rapping to a track that I love,
And my mum said actually muz,
To be happy, matter of fact doesn't have to be tough
So I take her advice after what she's seen
Even if I aint that sure of what she means...
Me, I was a kid seeing trouble and strife
There were fights every night between a husband and wife,
At the time I was a child, I wasn't loving my life,
Now it's all in the past, I've been recovering right
Booking my flights in the summer with my girl
But I don't need to be discovering the world
I got everything I wanted in this moment in time,
Right here this is happiness, spoken in rhyme

Chorus

I was sitting at the front of the plane,
Wondering when I'd be going back to London again
But looking forward to meeting Hannah and Mum
I'm a - bad brother and an average son
See I'm never really there when I'm needed the most
I'm supposed the strong one keeping us close,
Or buying you a house with my music career,
Doesn't matter who hears I'm reducing to tears
Many listeners but I aint selling albums
Money and the riches, we'll be happier without them
Don't believe me, just look at up my father
In an expensive but empty apartment,
I write for my friends in my heart from the start when,
We planned out a path to the stars and the target
Was far as the skies and above
I'm already there, in the life that I love
I'm so happy

Chorus

I'm sitting on the deck of a boat
Twenty seven years old, just a regular bloke
HMV selling every record I wrote
So I'm reckoning my family could never be broke
When our life was depressing we coped
I remember those days now a decade ago
Mum said if we hoped, then we'd make it alright
Now I sleep full of peace, I don't wake in the night
If I did I'll see the woman who was changing my life
All that time ago, a while ago I made her my wife
And my dad even came to the wedding,
He's a good a man again, he's ashamed and regretting
What he did in the past but it's over now
I'm looking at my parents and both are proud
I'm reading to my son, all the stories I make
Sharing champagne, laughing with Rory and Jake (haha)
And my sister graduated at last
I congratulated her upon the day that she passed
Its the cloud that I hope I'm on
Reminiscing to the time that I wrote this song
As a nineteen year old kid with dreams
Now I know what this feeling means
See it seems, that happiness is easy to find
If it's hidden then by living you'll see it in time
