Verse 1]
It might seem crazy what I’m ’bout to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
Mama – hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air like I don’t care, baby, by the way

[Hook]
Because I’m happy… 
Come along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy… 
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy… 
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy… 
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you want to do

[Verse 2]
Here comes bad news, talkin’ this and that
But give me all you’ve got, and don’t hold it back
Well, I should probably warn you, I’ll be just fine
No offense to you, don’t waste your time, here’s why… 

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Bring me down… can’t nothing… 
Bring me down… your love is too high… 
Bring me down… can’t nothing… 
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down… can’t nothing… 
Bring me down… your love is too high… 
Bring me down… can’t nothing… 
Bring me down, I said… 

[Hook x2]

[Bridge 2]
Bring me down… can’t nothing… 
Bring me down… your love is too high… 
Bring me down… can’t nothing… 
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

 

Fine , Time

You, Do

Happy and Happiness are repeated.

He says that he feels happy because of love. He also says that he’ll not stop being happy ever. He wants everyone to know he’s happy. He tries to show how happy he is and why. He explains that he wants to be with a girl. 

It makes the structure of the song better. Because using words that sound alike make the song have a better meaning. It also makes it easier to be liked by the audience.

Compare And Contrast

Roderick and Madeline are different because one is a guy and the other one is a girl. Roderick and Madeline both look pale and sick. They’re also described as sick and sad. Roderick talks more than madeline. Both seem to be mentally ill. Madeline never speaks in the story. In short, they are creepy and weird. 

Their descriptions are similar to the house because in the beggining of the story they describe the house as spooky. Even from the outside the narrator could tell that the house looked different from others. The trees sorrounding the house were ghast and dead. So they are similar because Roderick and Madeline look as dead as the house. It si a really weird story.
