Happy Alone

Call in the airstrike, tell them to make the drop

Initiate a cycle no one but you can stop

Would it be fair to say that you're in love with love?

And is that enough?

I bet you feel really potent stuff

The shadows of doubt on how things turn out

Are typically gray

But even the stopped clock on the wall

Is right two times a day

And it's still enough

Just how much distance means we're on our own?

And can we be happy

Happy alone?

The universe opens up the door

And we go right in, it's there, it's new, it's cool

It's something we ain't seen before

And five minutes in

An egg timer rings

To clip off our carefree flapping wings

Show us the things we can't afford

And throw us overboard

But it's still enough.

Just how much distance means we're on our own?

Until i see you off at home

Down the sidewalk in my head

I might be sinking like a stone

But perfectly happy

Just openly happy

In my home, I've always known

I gotta be happy alone

So burn the mail, destroy the phone

Yeah, I'd rather be happy alone

The moving sky, the rocks below

All so perfectly happy alone

Our little hearts have turned to stone

I'd better be happy alone.
