Happy If You Could
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There was a ghost strung up and all my closets thin
Changing the way I look but never the mood I'm in
Staring down eyes
Clenching this fist
Wearing these birds in
Biting an old war now
We never can win again
Why oh why don't people get along
Jumpin' out their office window
Just before the fire was gone
And I oh I got anger in my blood
Set the clock to start it over
Would you be happy if you could?
When you're the softest heart
Every wall you build up's gonna cave back in
You're staring down eyes
Clenching these fists
Wearing these birds in
You're fighting an old war now
You never can win again
Why oh why don't people get along
Jumpin' out their office window
Just before the fire was gone
And I oh I got anger in my blood
Set the clock to start it over
Would I be happy if I could?
Oh
Why oh why don't people get along
Jumpin' out their office window
Just before the fire was gone
And I oh I got anger in my blood
Set the clock to start it over
Would you be happy if you could?
Set the clock to start it over,
Would you be happy, would you be happy if you could?
