Maybe I’m crazy I've
Been talking to myself at night
And I'm feelin' so alone
If I could get the words out right
To tell you how I feel I might
But they're comin' out so wrong
Then the voices they come rushin' in
Like a ten ton truck into soft cement
Now the words make sense but I can't repeat
Because sense don't make what it used to be
I'm here my love but I'm floating, baby
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You tied a tether here to keep me close
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
But it got better when you didn't go
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
And I won't need any more
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You know I'd really hate to see me float
I tremble when I see your eyes
I saw them in a dream last night
And they heard me sing a song
I never cared for fancy art
Or poetry on old guitars
But they always sing along
Then the notes fill up like a big balloon
As I'm drifting upwards away from you
Now I'm screaming mad with two clenched hands
Will beauty come if I don't land?
I'm here my love but I'm floating, baby
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You tied a tether here to keep me close
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
But it got better when you didn't go
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
And I won't need any more
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You know I'd really hate to see me float
Write it to myself at night: as long as you're here I'll be all alright
I'm here my love but I'm
I'm here my love but I'm floating baby
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You tied a tether here to keep me close
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
But it got better when you didn't go
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
And I won't need any more
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You know I'd really hate to see me float

[@ccassidy9090]

Me, unironically, at every happy fits song:
wow I love the cello

[@nizi0]

Cello is the hottest instrument ever

[@_hazelnut.coffee_]

felt that

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

cello is pretty sexy

[@sammylahr3429]

You haven't seen "sexy" until you've seen Calvin headbanging with his cello on stage.

[@hopeiswherethehomeis9606]

three cheers to the best string instrument (tho I might be biased :P)

[@nathalie9572]

can i legally marry a song?

[@zachariasplank2774]

Yes you can, if you live in america. 🤣🤣

[@queenivy5589]

You can marry tv if you wanted to down here you do yeah

[@pardontheplay]

Only with a prenup...

[@bagelly6957]

Only if we can share

[@applerat4263]

Can we poly it

[@kkryllicc]

Never realized this before but after closely listening to the song, this can very much be about a person with anxious/intrusive thoughts clinging on to a loved one to ground them. At least that's how I see it and it makes it an even better song to listen to :-D
I wish more people talked about the meaning behind their songs on the comments 🥺

[@lamb6549]

I see It as a person talking to themselves: a lovesong for the singer themselves.

[@lucyalbaumann]

There is not a single bad happy fits song. This is no exception.

[@emmalee4452]

continuously dropping bops that make me go wild. hell yeah hell yeah. but ross singing 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@traintle9107]

This might be my all time favorite

[@TheHappyFits]

thank you

[@LauraCastillo-qr3st]

Luke singing??!!!
LUKE SINGING!!! ❤️
*heart attack*

[@parmavioIets]

this belongs in an indie coming of age film

[@hopefullywholesome1955]

hey wait a minute

[@corneliusolaso685]

I was literally thinking the same thing

[@quessiant]

Which one???

[@hopefullywholesome1955]

Mm this is... this is wonderful. This should play in the soundtrack of an indie coming of age film while the MC dances furiously in the rain with their friends or love interest. I’m gonna send this to my friends

[@razzledazzle8180]

These are exactly the vibes I needed right now! Are y'all wizards????

[@cobbsnocker]

I got 20 years younger listening to this. Thank you.

[@wheelspams]

what’s it like, constantly upping the bar with absolute bangers

[@nedac2499]

[Verse 1]
Maybe I’m crazy, I've
Been talking to myself at night
And I'm feelin' so alone
If I can get the words out right
To tell you how I feel, I might
But they're comin' out so wrong
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then the voices, they come rushin' in
Like a ten-ton truck into soft cement
Now the words make sense but I can't repeat
Because sense don't make what it used to be
I'm here, my love, but I'm floating, baby
[Chorus]
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You tied a tether here to keep me close
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
But it got better when you didn't go
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
And I won't need any more
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You know I'd really hate to see me float
[Verse 2]
I tremble when I see your eyes
I saw them in a dream last night
And they heard me sing a song
I never cared for fancy art
Or poetry on old guitars
But they always sing along
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then the notes fill up like a big balloon
As I'm drifting upwards away from you
Now I'm screaming mad with two clenched hands
Will beauty come if I don't land?
I'm here, my love, but I'm floating, baby
[Chorus]
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You tied a tether here to keep me close
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
But it got better when you didn't go
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
And I won't need any more
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You know I'd really hate to see me float
[Bridge]
Write it to myself at night: as long as you're here I'll be all alright
Write it to myself at night: as long as you're here I'll be all alright
Write it to myself at night: as long as you're here I'll be all alright
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm here, my love, but I
I'm here, my love, but I'm floating, baby
[Chorus]
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You tied a tether here to keep me close
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
But it got better when you didn't go
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
And I won't need any more
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
You know I'd really hate to see me float

yall are insane, cant wait to see yall at another concert when corona is all over!

The fact this comment was made a year ago depresses me

@@Daniel-dj7fh i just finished crying

[@_scatterbrains]

@@McMastersofficial sounds nice

[@RedRyanSox]

You hear that?? That's the sound of us all going over to give happy vibes to the person who's responsible for that one dislike, they must be having a rough day

[@herpytheclown]

Is there a song they’ve made that hasn’t been incredible??

[@kierancarson7911]

Every song you make has such a different vibe to it. You guys tie together every indie pop subgenre together with a cello, I love it

[@uctrinhquang3755]

This sounds like an opening of a movie, love this song.

[@Awgez24]

Way the lyrics are sung sound a lot like The Killers This River Is Wild

[@manekilucky9573]

Just found yall, and I gotta say, this is probably the second time I've ever commented on YT just to say-
This music is incredible

[@razzercise]

This song sounds like a hug and man do i love it

[@juliamasse9334]

a fit of happiness ✨✨

[@splurcarti3r]

Dude, I dont even listen to this type of music but every time I hear this song on the radio I cant help myself but to Jam out to it. This song rocks!

[@gs-se2cb]

does it ever get tiring to write constant masterpieces? ☺️

[@jellybeanforlifeeee8302]

I watched the movie " You are so not invited to my bat mitzva" just to hear this song because I was so excited when they posted that this song was in that movie.

[@suppleleaves]

Never stop guys, never stop

[@pumulot]

[@Breadystickle]

For some reason the cello never really registers in my head but when i think about it too much it really makes the song. This is some awesome stuff you guys are making here, you might become my favorite band at this rate aha.

[@dezr9643]

Bridge gives me chills 😳🥰

[@Ru_bee]

Someone on an online game was asking what people’s favorite songs were. I lead them to thing song and they couldn’t stop thanking me lol. ❤🍍
(True story)

[@gracej5474]

I’m so thankful I found this band. I’m absolutely obsessed with this song! Can’t wait for the full album to be released

[@Ghost-qu8md]

saw this in a "pheonix clips to cure your depression" and had to check it out.

[@rumpelkatzenn]

I can really only listen to a handful of songs cuz I listen to the same song on repeat, and this is one of those types of songs fortunately. For comparison, several other songs are from super big artists, and some are professionally produced musical theatre songs

[@senh0re856]

Yours songs make me really happy ^^

[@kumkwat3555]

The melody has these lovely summer vibes 😍

[@Stay-safe]

I smell great content that should go viral
