Lyrics Happy People (with Teddy Swims & Jac Ross) - X Ambassadors , Teddy Swims

Um-mm-mhm, yeah-yeah
Oh, oh-oh, um-hm

Everywhere I go
All I see is blue skies in lovers' eyes
Kissin' under city lights and
Don't they make it all look so easy?

I tried and I tried
To fake a smile, pretend that I
Won't be going home lonely tonight
Goddamn, I wish didn't feel so crazy

I wish I could be like happy
Happy people
I just wanna be like happy
Happy people, oh

But I'm suffering inside, losing my mind
These smiles, they just make me cry every time
'Cause happy, happy people
Just remind me of you

Everywhere I've been, yeah, yeah (ooh, ooh-ooh)
All I hear is, I love yous, vows renewed (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Holding hands and jumping brooms (ooh, ooh-ooh)
And, man, they make it look so easy (ooh, ooh-ooh)

And I tried (I tried), and I tried (I tried)
To tell myself, "Just give it time"
But these tears never, ever dry (never ever, ever dry)
Good Lord, I feel like I'm just fading

But I wanna be like happy
Happy people
I just wanna be like happy
Happy people, oh

But I'm suffering inside, losing my mind
These smiles, they just make me cry every time
'Cause happy, happy people
Just remind me of you

You, (oh-oh) whoa-oh (yeah)

'Cause night after night, I see your face
You opened my eyes and I can't look away
You stare back at me
You're staring back at me, yeah

Oh, and time after time, I've made my mistakes
Haunted by memories I can't erase
I just wanna be (oh, I wanna be)
I wanna be happy

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just wanna be (just wanna be), mmm
(Hmm) mmm, I wanna be (happy), oh, no
(Happy) happy, (yeah) yeah

I wish I could be like happy (happy)
Happy people
And I just wanna be like (oh-oh) happy (oh, I just wanna be like)
Happy people (oh-oh-oh, yeah)

But I'm suffering inside (suffering inside)
Losing my mind (losing my mind)
These smiles, they just make me cry every time (oh-oh-oh)
'Cause happy (yeah, happy) whoo, happy people (happy people)

Just remind me of you, you, you, you, you
You, you (you), yeah
