Happier (MTV Unplugged)
[Intro]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Verse 1]
When the morning comes
When we see what we've become
In the cold light of day, we're a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we've begun
Every argument, every word we can't take back
'Cause with all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that this story ends
[Chorus]
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave, yeah
Know that means I'll have to leave
[Post-Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Verse 2]
When the evening falls
And I'm left there with my thoughts
And the image of you being with someone else
Well, it's eating me up inside
But we ran our course, we pretended we're okay
Now if we jump together, at least we can swim
Far away from the wreck we made
[Chorus]
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave, yeah, hmm-hmm
Know that means I'll have to leave
[Post-Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Bridge]
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Even though I might not like this
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier
[Chorus]
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave, hey!
[Instrumental Break]
Ooohh...
[Post-Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Outro (spoken)]
Think we got away with it
Okay, Charlie, who do you want to say thank you tonight?
That's the wrong microphone
All of these amazing people we've got Rebecca, Sanna[?], Trin[?], Patrice over on this side, thank you so much
And in particular, thank you to Rebecca for putting up with my terrible, terrible scoring work that I had to get somebody to help me with
My boy Jack Duxbury
Then we got Mikey and Guy over there, in the den[?]
And we got our secret weapon: Eziko[?] on the original percussion
And uuh, and also, of course to all of our fucking amazing crew who've pulled all this whole thing together, thank you
And I think maybe, a pretty good thank you to the band Bastille for letting me ruin their music for an evening on TV, you guys have absolutely destroyed it, thank you so much
Alright, uhm, so having just [?] on Happier or something weird, this is a much more appropriate finish
