Lyrics

Happiness

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard

Happiness was never mine to hold

Careful child, light the fuse and get away

'Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]

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

[Bridge]

Happiness is like the old man told me

Look for it and 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

[Outro]

She'll be

She'll be

She'll be, home

She'll be, home

She'll be, home

She'll be home (yeah)

She will be home (yeah)

She will be home (yeah)

She'll be, home

She'll be, home

She'll be
