about

Written during isolation about a woman who is locked up with her lover and realizes they are not a good match. She is being driven crazy by her need to leave… forever. A bouncy and bluesy pop jazz track featuring sultry and playful vocal stylings reminiscent of Billie Holiday and Doris Day and fun harmonies

lyrics

Sadly, I don’t know how to be happy
When you’re around I feel crazy
Everything always feels wrong
I only wanna sing my song

Day ooh day oo day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Ooh ooh Wa ooh!

Now I’m a number nine
I’ve always felt it that way
Each time I fall in line
I make the same mistake

Don’t settle down
If you don’t want to
Everybody wants to
Settle down

I only wanna sing oh

Sadly, I don’t know how to be
Happy, cuz when you’re around
I feel crazy
Everyting always feels wrong
I only wanna sing my song

Day ooh day oo day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Ooh ooh Wa ooh!

We’re under lock and key
We used to want it that way
Now I just wanna scream
Feel like a cat in a cage

Don’t settle down
If you don’t want to
Everybody wants to
Settle down
I only wanna sing

Sadly, I don’t know how to be
Happy, cuz when you’re around
I feel crazy
Everyting always feels wrong
I only wanna sing my song

Day ooh day oo day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Ooh ooh Wa ooh!

Somewhere theres a heaven
A little piece of heaven
Some for you, and some for
Me.

Day ooh day oo day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Day ooh day ooh day ooh
Ooh ooh Wa ooh
