Текст песни The Purple Cloud - Happiest Days of Our Lives

I remember my childhood as if it was recorded on VHS tape
And I considered myself special; trying to hide from people I detest
And through the gloss of sunny days
I haven't noticed how interferences obscured our film

If time is a vicious circle like Rust used to say
Then life doesn't allow us to make pauses and I know that on Sunday evening
I'll pour my tea into my favorite book
Try to kick my cat out of my room, and eventually get in a fight that I would lose

Happiest days are the days that we don't notice
Happiest days are the days that we skip

I've been told that life is a shitty tv show where the best part are
Short commercial breaks with spaced out actors
Just like when I was little and we used to watch
Transformers on the back seat of the car, thinking that it was brilliant

No dad, I'm not coming to Paris, I'll go to my friend's house
With rickety fence and tractor called mole,
Bicycle rides until sunset
Mosquito invasions when it's about to get dark

It was great

I look at myself 10 years ago and understand that
I haven't changed, however the world around me had
I live in the reality where prior decisions affect
Whether you're gonna be laughing or not when you will find out about it

Happiest days are the days that are long gone
Happiest days are not waiting for no one
Happiest days are the days with blurred out faces
Happiest days are when u used to wake up with the sun
Happiest days are when you had plastic toy maces
Happiest days are gone
Just gone
