Lyrics: If happy lives a mile away ...
Hello ,everyone.
This song Invisible is sang by Zara Larsson. Lyrics are as follow:
If happy lives a mile away
A couple steps is all it takes...
I wonder why happy can be a subject. The lyrics writer can select "happiness" rather than "happy".
Thank you very much.
