[Verse 1]
I can't wake up
See me running 'round the corner, move me up into the upswing
Call me undone
When I speak about the truth, I'm only brought up to the downbeat

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not easy there
When you feel the wear
Patience brings the tear
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Everyday do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?

[Verse 2]
Pushing paper
I do everything I'm told and yeah I do it for the money
Understating
Every action that I take until I know there's something coming

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not easy there
When you feel the wear
Patience brings the tear
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Everyday do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?

[Bridge]
The messages won't stop, they just keep pulling at you
Teasing us with the thought that better's something we'll do
If we could hold the tongue and focus all our time through
We would just rise above this cycle that we're bound to
(Everyday do you notice that we're never free?)
(Oh, why can't you be happy with me?)
(Everyday we are running)
(Everyday we are running)
(Everyday we are running)

[Chorus]
Everyday do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
