lyrics

Window by my bed is warm and sunny
Bite the apple, amputate the phone
All my friends are cute and smart and funny
If they don't pick up when I call, I know that they aren't mad at all
I just leave a message at the tone
You can call it excess serotonin
You can call it braggadocio
I feel pretty good when I'm around you
And I feel pretty good when I'm alone

I'll never be sad again
I'll never be sad again
Throw out the violin
I'll never be sad again

We had a trampoline in our front garden
Jump together you'd get twice as high
At the top the whole world starts to sharpen
I stretch out my fingertips, I taste freedom on my lips
Open up my eyes and touch the sky
Maybe force of will can keep me floating
Anything to keep me off the floor
I don't read the news, it's not important
Gravity can't touch me anymore (Gravity can't touch me)

I'll never be sad again
I'll never be sad again
Throw out the violin
I'll never be sad
I'll never be sad again

I could meet my match
Maybe they'll be funny and we'll dance and interrupt each others' plans
We'll get so attached
Finally I'll put my beating heart inside another person's hands
When I'm lost from the light
When I cannot find the reason
To get out of bed, to make some tea
Don't give up the fight every feeling has a season
I'm not alright but I'm gonna be

Sometimes I see shadows in the corners
I get shivers underneath the sheets
Maybe happiness is a performance
Maybe I can breath real deep, and send my demons back to sleep
And I can choose the man I want to be

I'll never be sad again
I'll never be sad again
throw out the violin
I'll never be sad, I'll never be sad again
