The New Happiness
There were time when we found ourselves smiling
If you don't know then I could not tell you
How I'll love you faithfully
Keep a blue eye on the sea
'Cause every ripple could suck a man under
And each line could drive you on the rocks
And it read like all that nonsense
But I am captured upon its surface
Let me in cause I'm not crazy now
And your housemates are gone and it's raining down
If I can't explain
Sha la la la, you'll find your way
Even as I've seen today
Nothing more could show you
Clear and clean are lines on your face
Guess among all the stuff that I'm leaving here
There's a note from you from another year
If I take it with me now
Well, I might not make it somehow
Spinning star, well it dazzles between your heels
You'd forgotten just how a new bike feels
When you would not leave
Her room, your dreams and drunken pleas
Will weigh down all the air you breathe
She won't forget and that's ok
These days everything seems alright
But I could have lain in the dusk with you
I'll never complain if I said it was true
Nothing could take it away
In the hell and the flames today
In the park where I left my bag that night
There's a spot where I will wait for you
How I'll love you faithfully
Keep your good eyes on the sea
Cause every ripple could suck a man under
And each line could drive you on the rocks
And it reads like all that nonsense
But I am captured upon its surface
