West of the Happiness
If I sleep too long (sleep too long)
Would you wake me up?
Would you lay down beside me
Kick me 'til I rise?
If I got it wrong (got it wrong)
Would you correct me?
Would I detect your patronising
Trivialising little smile
(You can't have the best of me)
You can't have the best of me
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
You can't have the best of me
(You can't have the best of me)
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
Cos if I speak what's on my mind
You might leave me far behind
And the sun sets west of the happiness
Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind
Did the world move on? (world move on)
Were you asleep?
Did you arise to find that time had shuffled by?
And now your thoughts are gone
(Thoughts are gone, yeah)
Like a coconut
Maybe you rolled along the coast for far too long
For far too long
(You can't have the best of me)
You can't have the best of me
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
You can't have the best of me
(You can't have the best of me)
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
Cos if I speak what's on my mind
You might leave me far behind
And the sun sets west of the happiness
Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind
Cos if I speak what's on my mind
You might leave me far behind
And the blues may seem unkind
For the ones who find the time
And the sun sets west of the happiness
Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind
Would you wake me up?
Would you lay down beside me
Kick me 'til I rise?
If I got it wrong (got it wrong)
Would you correct me?
Would I detect your patronising
Trivialising little smile
(You can't have the best of me)
You can't have the best of me
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
You can't have the best of me
(You can't have the best of me)
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
Cos if I speak what's on my mind
You might leave me far behind
And the sun sets west of the happiness
Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind
Did the world move on? (world move on)
Were you asleep?
Did you arise to find that time had shuffled by?
And now your thoughts are gone
(Thoughts are gone, yeah)
Like a coconut
Maybe you rolled along the coast for far too long
For far too long
(You can't have the best of me)
You can't have the best of me
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
You can't have the best of me
(You can't have the best of me)
That's a thing that I keep for me
And the company that I keep
Cos if I speak what's on my mind
You might leave me far behind
And the sun sets west of the happiness
Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind
Cos if I speak what's on my mind
You might leave me far behind
And the blues may seem unkind
For the ones who find the time
And the sun sets west of the happiness
Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind
