Happy On Purpose

Woke up with the curtains half open

Sun painted little stripes on my bed

Coffee in a chipped blue mug

Spilling all the good stuff in my head

I could count the things that I don't have

Or I could sing along to what I do

Write a tiny victory on a napkin

Pin it to the fridge like proof

Happy thoughts

I pick 'em on purpose

Like flowers from the cracks in the pavement

Turn my worries into watercolor

Let the colors run where they may

Yeah

Happy thoughts

I stack 'em like Polaroids

Little snapshots taped to the ceiling

Every day I'm learning how to hold 'em

Happy thoughts

Happy thoughts I'm keeping

Text buzz from a friend I’ve been missing

We laugh about the year we survived

Dancing in the supermarket aisle

Just because we're breathing and alive

I could chase the storm inside my smartphone

Or I could chase the sunset down the street

Trade another scroll for a deep breath

Sing it like a secret I repeat

Happy thoughts

I pick 'em on purpose

Like flowers from the cracks in the pavement

Turn my worries into watercolor

Let the colors run where they may

Yeah

Happy thoughts

I stack 'em like Polaroids

Little snapshots taped to the ceiling

Every day I'm learning how to hold 'em

Happy thoughts

Happy thoughts I'm keeping

Maybe it’s a cheap bouquet

Maybe it’s a perfect day

Either way I’ll say it out loud

(yeah, I’ll say it out loud)

Grateful’s just a habit grown

From tiny seeds I've thrown

Look at all the good that’s sprouting now

Happy thoughts

I pick 'em on purpose

Like flowers from the cracks in the pavement

Turn my worries into watercolor

Let the colors run where they may

Yeah

Happy thoughts

I stack 'em like Polaroids

Little snapshots taped to the ceiling

Every day I'm learning how to hold 'em

Happy thoughts

Happy thoughts I'm keeping (oh-oh)

One more laugh

One more note

One more little light I wrote

Happy thoughts

I’m keeping those
