Happiness, I don't have
Happiness, I can't find
I hear all those shit love songs on my radio
And I know all the cliches about love are true
But the love itself is not
It's not
Everything is so contrary
To what I imagined them to be
To love is no more than suffering
And to be loved is just responsibility
Happiness is a myth
And maybe there's a god above but he just doesn't care
So happiness, I don't have
Happiness, I can't find
[Solo]
Happiness, I don't have
Happiness, I can't find
Now you may say that everything is so absurd
You are right, you are right
Everything is so temporary
Even my lack of happiness
So happiness, I don't have
But happiness, I will find

Your Garden

Here's a little flower
It's very young
I put it in your hair
And it turns into a song
Here's a little song
That you must know
Give it some water
And let it grow
Very soon, you'll have a garden
So green, calm, and enchanted
Where you can dance
Naked and free
I'll be your garden, my love
So here's half a song
Can you do the rest?
You might get it wrong
But it can turn out to be the best
Here's a little story
Write it as we go
Just dig the earth
And let it flow
Very soon, you'll have a garden
So green, calm, and enchanted
Where you can dance
Naked and free
I'll be your garden, my love
I'll be your garden, my love

A flash of pink on white
A lonesome tree by the wall
Water falling on water
Oh what a sound
Sunlight streaming through the window
Oh what a light
Come and dance with me through the garden
Soft and slow
Miles away and years ago
Come and love me through the colours
And the shade
For it's somewhere that our dreams might rest
A touch of orange on blue
A shadow hanging over you
And we dream the dream of horses
Oh what a dream
And we dream the dream of horses
Oh what a dream
Come and dance with me through the garden
Soft and slow
Years ago and miles away
Come and love me through the colours
And the shade
For it's somewhere that our dreams might rest
For it's somewhere that our dreams might rest

The End

The end was nearer than we thought
And it felt worse than when we caught
Such a terrible cold and we stayed home for a while
But it's so slow and it takes time
So long that you can never find
A decent and proper way to say goodbye
The farewell is no dramatic
Just a little more than every night
We say goodbye, we kiss and hug
That's all we've got
[Synth solo]
When I was just seventeen
Sporting stupid pairs of jeans
I couldn't tell that it would turn this way
It did
You can never feel enough
You can never care too much
You can never freeze the time
Even if you cry and cry...
So let me tell what we can do
We can all go get a tattoo
But I don't think we are that type of people
At least some of us
[Synth solo]
Years will go and
We'll part
So far
And there
Will always
Be a place
In our hearts
For what
We went through
Together
And alone

I am thinking its a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
and I, have to speculate
that god himself did make us into corresponding
shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay
and true, it may seem like a stretch
but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head
when you're away, when I am missing you to death
when you are out there in your room
And I’m here all alone
and when you scan your phone
I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great heights
come down now
they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
come down now
but we'll stay
I tried my best to leave
this all in a voice message
but the persistent beat, it
sounded thin upon listening
and that frankly, will not fly
You’ll hear the shrillest highs
and lowest lows when you’re scrolling down
Your feed on Instagram
They will see us waving from such great heights
come down now
they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
come down now
but we'll stay
