I climbed to the top of the highest building
I made a fist and I shook my wrist and said
Don't you dare take this away from me
Cause for once in my life i'm happy
For once in my life i'm happy
And I hope things just stay the same
But life don't work that way
And I know, you only get as much power as i'm willing to give
So tonight, i'll pretend that you don't exist
Cause it'll be me and her and no one else in the world
And thoughts, thoughts of you will fade away
For once in my life i'm happy.
I'm gonna be happy for once in my life

She believes in love songs and ballets
Thinks that there's more good than bad days
I wish we could all see things her way
And learn to appreciate
She believes in dreams and wishes too
Thinks that it's something we should before we die
And fall into the sky
He just wanted to get out
That's all he ever talks about
This time of year
As he raises his glass and cheers
Tonight i'm throwing it all down
I'm gonna leave this god forsaken town
I'm gonna drive untill i can't no more
I'll drive untill i hit the other shore
She's getting all dressed up
She's going out to hit the Club
Is pumping just right
And it's packed tonight
It's nice to get away from home
A place where she feels so alone
And She dances her dance and her dance is just right
She dances her dance and she loses her mind
He sees her from across the bar
And although she is very far
He decides to take a journey
And ends up on a hospitol gurnee
Because drunks can fall on their face
But they're never gonna fall in love.

You’re no coffee in a cup
But you’re still the best part of waking up
Because coffee’s bitter, you’re sweet
You make laugh and you’re funny
You light up my life
You take my dark days and make them bright
We’ve been friends for a long time
And you’re always on my mind
Let’s put our love to the test
See if we can outlast all the rest
I’ll put sparks in your heart
No one will break us apart
I love your smile
It makes me warm inside
You write me post it notes
And it makes my heart glow
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend
Our love is magic
It’s electric
It’s fantastic
Our love is magic
It’s electric
Our love is epic
Let’s put our love to the test
See if we can outlast all the rest
I’ll put sparks in your heart
No one will break us apart

In the morning our parents wake up
They get dressed and then they grab a cup
Of coffee from the closest café
The family gets in the car to head off for another day
We drive through the hills and valleys, Up city blocks and down Alleys
Past Lakes and ponds and mountains and woods, While we leave our neighborhood.
We drive past restaurants and gyms past Bus station, train station, fire and police stations
There’s a 1000 different places in this city
That we can go
There’s a 1000 different places in this city
That we can know
Kids go to school to pick up extra knowledge
While the older kids are all off to college
Or the university
Our parents work at the office or the factory.
Until the day is done Then we go out and have some fun
At the Cinema, we watch movies on the big screen
Or we’ll drive to the farm and pet the little sheep
Then we’ll read books and magazines at the library
At the theatre we can see people acting
At the laundry mat people are washing their clothes
The pharmacy is where you go to fix your runny nose
We'll run through parks and fields
Past churches and past cathedrals
While our parents are at the pub
and at the night club
There’s a 1000 different places in this city
That we can go
There’s a 1000 different places in this city
That we can know
There’s a 1000 different places in this city
That we can go
There’s a 1000 different places in this city
That we can know
Today was the best Now lets head back to our house to get some rest

We've been dating for three whole years
Been filled with laughs and lots of tears
but most of all, I've had a ball, just being your best friend
And i hope some day you'll see,
You didn't waste you're time on me
and all though i may be broken,
I'm less broken when I'm with you
I'm gonna wish you a Happy Anniversary
A Happy Anniversary
I'm so happy that you are with me
It's the only way it should ever be
I want to wake up next to you
Knowing I slept the whole night through,
With you right by my side,
Holding me tight.
And I'll wake up with tired eyes
Because it's hard to dream of paradise
When to your very on surprise,
She's next to you right in disguise
So Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary
I'm so happy that you are with me
It's the only way it should ever be
Passing notes in history
And sharing stories and mysteries
We were drawing Smilies on our hands
As we we’re listening to our favorite bands
We were walking through San Jose
And people watching all dang day
We were pointing out the things we see
That will make each other happy
So Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary
I'm so happy that you are with me
It's the only way it should ever be
