Front Bottoms, The - If You're Happy Lyrics






I think you think I'm someone else
Maybe it's me and you've been myself
And this is only a cry for help
You said watch me fade away.

She's cleaning out the closets
Because there's not much more to keep
Well I am laying on the bathroom floor
I choke myself to sleep.

You can not explain to someone
who will never understand
Because I just jumped out your window
and I can not wait til I land.

I need to stop playing out relationships
inside of my head.
Because every one of my memories
is filled with shit you never even said.

And I fell in love with a girl who I will never see again.
It makes me sad in my head
to think how happy we could have been.

And now it's hard to sing along
when you never knew the words
'cause I swear you're talking lies
and you could swear that I misheard.

And now the ship, it's going down
And I am not sure what to think
Well I am going back to bed
'Cause I refuse to watch her sink.

We'll buy balloons, we'll let them go.
When I get back, I'll let you know
that everything will be the same.
You can't deny what you can't change.

And if you're happy, well then, you're happy.
We could leave it all at that.
Pretend you're happy and I'll be happy.
Then I'll try to make it fact.

Now she's cleaning out the closets
because there's not much more to keep
Well I am laying on the bathroom floor
I choke myself to sleep.

You can not explain to someone
who will never understand
Because I just jumped out your window
and I can't wait til I land.

And now the ship, it's going down
And I am not sure what to think
Well I am going back to bed
'Cause I refuse, I refuse, to watch her sink.

Front Bottoms, The If You're Happy Comments
  1. C.... T....

    Oh how I wish they would release some physical copies of this album

  2. s.... ....

    When I hear this song I’m immediately 19 again. ❤️

  3. J.... M....

    I feel Green Day in this for some reason

  4. x.... ....

    I think throughout all of TFB's album's, Even though the sound has changed a lot, They've always kept this weird poetry vibe to them. And their lyrics are quite odd but I think that's why I love them so much tbh.

  5. b.... j....

    And now it's hard to sing along,
    when you never knew the words,
    'cause I swear you're talking lies,
    and you could swear that I misheard?

  6. t.... ....

    Is that a plane in the background at 2:03?

  7. R.... T....

    Who hurt you Brian :,\

  8. A.... R....

    Brian sounds a little sick in this one 😷

  9. J.... M....

    only band I make covers too, I love them so much

  10. S.... ....

    Shame he never learned to either play the guitar nor how to tune it. Otherwise, it would be quite good.

    >:8o

    S.... ....

    ShadeyBladey that's what makes it so good smh

  11. N.... H....

    the front bottoms have been my favorite band for three years now and they are just now getting huge gotta love the band wagon this is honestly one of the best albums they have taking my uzi to the gym is great too

  12. C.... ....

    why couldn't I find this on Spotify

    C.... ....

    this song is super old, they never sold these albums. you can find them online for free, brian and mat have expressed that it's not illegal to download them because they were never official releases. they usually just burned CD's themselves and would hand them out at local NJ venues in like 2008/2009

  13. S.... ....

    I thought I had heard all there albums but I found this and omg what a discovery

    S.... ....

    literally just did the same thing and this one is favorite one now

  14. k.... ....

    every one of my memories 
    is filled with shit you never even said.

  15. M.... D....

    I am convinced this song is about me. Brian Sella can see into my soul.

    M.... D....

    RELATABLE CONTENT

    M.... D....

    He's good at that. To say the least.

  16. r.... u....

    Pretend you're happy and I'll be happy.

  17. l.... ....

    Does anybody know if the line "we'll buy balloons, we'll let them go" is an American Psycho reference? "We buy balloons, we let them go" is a rather important line from the novel.

    l.... ....

    probably because in The Boredom he says I wanna read American Psycho again. and I think the song Taking My Uzi To the Gym is a reference to that novel as well

    l.... ....

    I think it's that, but also when people die people buy balloons and let them go at a location the deceased one loved. It's like saying their relationship is dead considering most of the good things about it were fabricated in his mind.

    l.... ....

    It could also be referencing the first line in that she thinks Brian is someone else 'cause he hasn't been himself; in other words, the old him is dead.

    l.... ....

    Lipstick covered magnet is another one too.

  18. K.... ....

    0:48 my life

    K.... ....

    mine too

  19. a.... y....

    this just explains my life

  20. C.... H....

    This is the band of my life.

  21. K.... G....

    this song makes me sad.
