Happiness
So here’s what it is
Here’s how it feels
Having a life with you in it

Taking it slow
Holding my breath
Don’t wanna go and ruin it

I’m looking for words
But how do they go
It’s something like
“I don’t know”

It’s something like…
Something like…
Happiness

It’s only a room
Only a chair
Only a half trimmed Christmas tree

But hearing you laugh
Seeing you there
Everything’s shiny new to me

There have to be words
For telling you so
But looking at you
I don’t know
It’s something like…
Something like…
Happiness

Something like warm
Something like true
Something like loving that I never knew
Something like safe
Something like grow

All of this time
Having no clue
There could be someone that I meld into

Into my heart out of the blue

Happiness

So what it is
Here’s how it feels
Having a life with you in it

Happiness
