Happiest Man on Earth
Broken Back Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll make it quick for you to know
Splashing my feelings is not where I'm the best (at)
I've never told you many things that I should
The words are on my lips, it's time to tell you the truth
The words are on my lips, it's time to tell you the truth

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town

This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty
The pain in your eyes
The chain in your heart
I'm gonna break it with my arms

Whenever you feel sad
In times of dark days
Going through a bad patch
Please come and take my hand

I care too much about you
To let you get drown
I'll always stay around
Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty
The pain in your eyes
The chain in your heart
I'm gonna break it with my arms

Whenever you feel sad
In times of dark days
Going through a bad patch
Please come and take my hand

I care too much about you
To let you get drown
I'll always stay around
Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I'll make it quick for you to know
I will be brief in telling you the truth

Splashing my feelings is not where I'm the best (at)
Expressing emotions is not a strong suit of mine

I've never told you many things that I should
I have kept certain things hidden from you

The words are on my lips, it's time to tell you the truth
I am ready to reveal what I have been keeping inside

I belong to the roads now
I am free to travel on the open road

Coming home to my old town
Returning to the place where I grew up

This pretty smile on this pretty face
My attractive appearance leaves me feeling content

I think I am the happiest man on earth
I believe that I am the most joyful person alive

Will you let me empty
May I help relieve

The pain in your eyes
The suffering I see in your gaze

The chain in your heart
The burden weighing heavily on your heart
