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 cant 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_fray/happiness.html ]
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, thats probably enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but youll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and shell be home
Home, home, home
Chasing after happiness is about as productive as chasing after a butterfly. But then you stop in exhaustion and take in life in all its beauty as you rest -- and then you notice that, quite unexpectedly, it's landed on your shoulder. :)
The fray has this wonderful ability to name the things with their right names. A slow and pleasant song about such a simple thing as happiness, which many people are today looking for. Including me... I think, that many of us would find ourselves in these lyrics. Happiness is so hard to get.. I guess, theres just one way. Do not stop trying, always grabbing her, when you have the chance, aim for your goal and dont be afraid...
