When I went looking for true happiness,
I started thinking to myself that I wanted to love, and be loved.
And it helped me to understand your strengths,
and the weaknesses you tend to keep hidden
So I’m just gonna use up all my energy on you
Because you laugh and cry so openly
To keep myself from hoping for anything
from the flow of time, or the color of the sky
I didn’t see true happiness, so I never realized
That it was actually right here next to me all along…
But I know it was your familiar hands that my numb fingers were seeking
So I’m willing to suffer a little to protect it all:
your melody, your philosophy, the things you have to say.
Because I love you and the way you laugh and cry so openly,
To keep myself from hoping for anything
from the flow of time, or the color of the sky…
I will continue to protect it all:
your melody, your philosophy, the things you have to say.
The reality of you being alive, right here with me,
is all it takes to make me happy
