lyrics

HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

I’ll make it quick for you to know
Splashing my feelings is not what I’m the best at
I’ve never told you many things that I should
The words are on my lips, it’s time to tell you the truth (X2)

I belong to the roads now,
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face,
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now,
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face,
I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty
The pain in your eyes ?
The chains in your heart
I’m gonna break it with my arms

Whenever you feel sad,
In times of dark days
Going through a bad patch
Please come and take my hand

I care too much about you
To let you get drowned
I’ll always stay around,
Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now,
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face,
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now,
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face,
I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty
The pain in your eyes ?
The chains in your heart
I’m gonna break it with my arms

I care too much about you
To let you get drowned
I’ll always stay around,
Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now,
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face,
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now,
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face,
I think I am the happiest man on earth
