The Fray - Happiness Lyrics & Meanings
Happiness Lyrics & Meanings: Happiness is just outside my window / Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour? / Or is happiness a little more like knocking / On your door, and 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 / Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good / / 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 / / Happiness damn near destroys you / Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor / So you tell yourself, that’s probably enough for now / 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, wake up and she’ll be home / Home, home, home
