Happiness in Fm

I been burned by newfound passion
And I hope the scars never fade
I've never bitten off more happiness than I could chew
And I don't believe I'm ever gonna see such a black day through
I can feel my heartbeat dancing into a shuffle
I can feel my heartbeat dancing into a shuffle
I can feel my heartbeat dancing into a shuffle
If I can't keep the beat death will surely hustle
Don't you know, happiness is a mindset
Don't get caught up in blindness
Letting trivial things hold you down
Well passion is infectious, and it's okay to be reckless
if you inspire the world around you
I can feel my heartbeat dancing into a shuffle
I can feel my heartbeat dancing into a shuffle
I can feel my heartbeat dancing into a shuffle
If I can't keep the beat death will surely hustle

We met long ago, back when love didn't mean a thing
And I couldn't have hardly known how much she'd mean to me
She's changed a lot since then, but it's okay, I changed a lot too
And it seemed like it was together we grew
well the first time that we kissed I was flyin' high
but now that she's gone it's fillin' my mind
"So read it and weep, my resignation
from being all yours, just sign the papers
you know i thought twice, you know i'm in love
but it's what I need," she said to me
and I never felt so alone as i did when she was by my side
cause i wish she was mine, I wish she was mine
She had some bad times, more than i expected to find
and I know it's possible she'll never be alright
so if she needs some space, I understand
cause it's all that I can do if I want her back
but I tell you it's been hard letting her go
how long I can live like this I don't know
"So read it and weep, my resignation
from being all yours, just sign the papers
you know i thought twice, you know i'm in love
but it's what I need," she said to me
and I never felt so alone as i did when she was by my side
cause i wish she was mine, I wish she was mine

We want the sunlight, but we don't want the heat
We want the cleanest air, but we don't want the trees
We want a mild temp, but we don't want the clouds,
We wanna see the snow if it doesn't hang around
Cause we are the highest, aren't we mighty?
Well I ain't now fool, but I ain't no priest
We're just teenagers in the history
of the wonderland that we all call home
So I find It real strange that we think we would know
everything
Well we think we're so smart, and we think we're so tough
Think we know what's best, well let me tell you what
We ain't above her wisdom, we ain't above her strength
We been messin' with the mother, someday
She's gonna put us in our place
We been messin' with the mother, someday
she's gonna put us in our place

I've said some things I did not know
I've said some things sunk to the bone
I get angry at things I can't control
I've hurt the people I love most
Well my mama always said to me
to treat others how you want to be
Well I've given less than I've received
but I know I'm more than just a leech
When you find me, I'll be halfway down to New Orleans
to pack all my regrets into a suitcase
I'll lock it up, and I'll swallow the key
I wouldn't want a soul to see
these things that I must carry always
Well darkness comes and darkness goes
but if you wear it head to toe,
you won't ever meet the person underneath
I always hoped to clean my soul,
afraid I'll be dirty till I'm growin' old
learnin' the past is already passed
it ain't here and now to decide where I go
Well I'm lacin' up my hiking boots
dropping everything I can to leave behind
gonna go where ever the road leads me to
cause now I'm strong from carryin' these things my whole life
When you find me, I'll be halfway down to New Orleans
to pack all my regrets into a suitcase
I'll lock it up, and I'll swallow the key
I wouldn't want a soul to see
these things that I must carry always
Well darkness comes and darkness goes
but if you wear it head to toe,
you won't ever meet the person underneath
Packin', leavin', doin' no grievin'
sheddin', forgettin', ain't gonna be needin'
Packin, leavin', doin' no grievin'
sheddin', forgettin', aint gonna...
When you find me, I'll be halfway down to New Orleans
to pack all my regrets into a suitcase
I'll lock it up, and I'll swallow the key
I wouldn't want a soul to see
these things that I must carry always
Well darkness comes and darkness goes
but if you wear it head to toe,
you won't ever meet the person underneath

I want you to know your wonderland is in bloom
and the sun is shining down
I want you to know I'll keep everything safe in your living room
though it's strange being here without you around
There's been talk that we might just pack up and stay awhile
but that would mean leaving where we've been for so long
for every tree, room, memory that we gain
I fear is one I won't be able to hold on
Hold on
There is change just around the fence,
don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
I shouldn't be afraid, won't someone just come and tell me why I am?
There is change just around the fence,
don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
I'm trying to hold the faith that everything's gonna be
alright in the end
I've always had a love for music and the way that it felt
and I've always had to work for every little card I've been dealt
Now I found I've been singin' to more than just myself
but I've never been on a plane, or east of the great lakes
or south of Oregon state
There is change just around the fence,
don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
I shouldn't be afraid, won't someone just come and tell me why I am?
There is change just around the fence,
don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
I'm trying to hold the faith that everything's gonna be
alright in the end
I'm always movin', always losin', always replacin' the old with the new
I wish to take everything I've ever known, everywhere I go
but I don't have room
I'm learnin' that I don't need those things to be happy where life
brings me to
There is change just around the fence,
don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
I shouldn't be afraid, won't someone just come and tell me why I am?
There is change just around the fence,
don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
I'm trying to hold the faith that everything's gonna be
alright in the end
