Lyrics
Happiness
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.
Happiness was just outside my window
I thought it'd crash blowing eighty miles an hour
But happiness is a little more like knocking on your door
You just let it in
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone, not for good but for now
And gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never meant to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
'Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself that's enough for now
But happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you'll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, you'll wake up and she'll be home
Home, home
She'll be
She'll be
She'll be, home
She'll be, home
She'll be, home
She'll be home
She will be home
She will be home
She'll be, home
She'll be, home
She'll be
