Happier

Length: 3:34

Release: 2018

Opening Lyrics:

Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
When the morning comes
When we see what we’ve become
In the cold light of day we’re a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we’ve begun
Every argument, every word we can’t take back
‘Cause with the all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that this story ends
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
‘Cause this just don’t feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I’ll have to leave

Pompeii

Length: 3:34

Release: 2013

Opening Lyrics:

Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you’ve been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Good Grief

Length: 3:26

Release: 2016

Opening Lyrics:

“So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?”
Watching through my fingers, watching through my fingers
Shut my eyes and count to ten
It goes in one ear out the other, one ear out the other
Burning bright right till the end
Now you’ll be missing from the photographs, missing from the photographs
Watching through my fingers, watching through my fingers
In my thoughts you’re far away
And you are whistling the melody, whistling the melody
Crystallizing clear as day
Oh, I can picture you so easily, picture you so easily
What’s gonna be left of the world if you’re not in it?
What’s gonna be left of the world, oh

Of The Night

Length: 3:34

Release: 2012

Opening Lyrics:

Rhythm is a dancer
It’s a soul’s companion
People feel it everywhere
Lift your hands and voices
Free your mind and join us
You can feel it in the air
Oh, oh, it’s a passion
Oh, oh, you can feel it in the air
Oh, oh, it’s a passion
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You can put some joy up on my face
Oh, sunshine in an empty place
Take me too, turn to
And, babe, I’ll make you stay
(Oh, yeah)

Joy

Length: 3:12

Release: 2019

Opening Lyrics:

Thought I’d never be waking
On the kitchen floor
But here I lie, not the first time
Now my morning has broken
And it brings the fear
My minds fallin’, fallin’
Then I feel my pulse quickening
But regrets can’t change anything
Yeah, I feel my pulse quickening
When your name lights up the screen
Oh Joy, when you call me
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
Joy
Set my mind free
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
