I'm just a happy kid
Stuck with the heart of a sad punk
Drowning in my id
Always searching like it’s on junk
No matter who hang out with
I can hear the clack clunk
Of the chains that pull the cars up
The roller coaster mountain top so high
When it comes down it shoots back up
Straight back to the sky
I gotta laugh and then i’m asleep
and then I walk around and wanna cry
Out at night to do the strand
The little candles make the bottles glow
Got ink all over my right hand
Getting crushes with no chance to grow
It’s like I’ll never ever land
There’s always too much sun
Or too much snow
I get slow days and no days
I get rusty and it’s hard
but I get notions that oceans
Are coming to my call
[You can learn to get along] x4
I get slow days and no days
I get rusty and it’s hard
but I get notions that oceans
are coming to my call
And I’m just a happy kid
Stuck with the heart of an old punk
Drowning in my id
Always hungry like it’s on junk
No matter who hang out with
I can hear the clack clunk
Of the chains that pull the cars up
The roller coaster mountain top so high
When it comes down it shoots back up
Straight back to the sky
I gotta laugh and then I’m asleep
and then I walk around and wanna cry
[Just a happy kid] x3

happy kid happy song
i can't get over how "care-free" yet "thought out" Nada Surf's lyrics are...
and "drowing in my id" is just an awesome line
Do you ever feel like you never outgrow some of this? " I get slow days, and no days "
This is a totally rad song. Despite it's pop-ish melody, the song's lyrics are totally well written. It may well be the finest anthem to the state of mind of a teenager ever constructed.
ultimate teenage anthem.
drowning in my Id...what a great line.. f'n good song.
really great....drowing ni my id....yeah didn't we all sometimes feel like this? ^^
blah blah parrots
