Happiness
I should rename this into like, SongJournal. No, really. (Might not have been terribly obvious last time, but the song title behind the cut is clickable to download the song in question (SAMPLING PURPOSES ONLY PLZ DELETE AND SCRUB YOUR HARD DRIVE AFTER LISTENING GO BUY THE SONGS ON AMAZON.COM OR ITUNES PEOPLE SRSLY)
Happiness
The Fray
Happiness was just outside my window
I thought it'd crash, blowing 80 miles an hour
But happiness is a little more like knocking
On your door, you just let it in
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone, not for good but for now
And gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
But careful, child; light the fuse and get away
Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, "That's enough for now"
But happiness has a violent roar
Happiness, it's like the old man told me
Look for it, and you'll never find it at all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, you'll wake up and she'll be home
Home, she'll be, she'll be, she'll be home
She'll be home, she'll be home, she'll be home
She will be home, she'll be home, she'll be home
She'll be home
She'll be
I absolutely adore The Fray's new album and I simply can't recommend it enough. I have been listening to it constantly ever since I bought it about a month ago. I posted this song in particular because I feel a very personal connection to these lyrics. I often find myself being perfectly content, happy, and enjoying life, and then with absolutely no impetus, I will suddenly feel inconsolably depressed. The feelings last as long as they last and there doesn't seem to be any reason - sometimes it wil be hours, sometimes it will be days - but it seems that when I feel those clouds lift from around me and I start to feel truly happy again, it's not because of doing something I like or trying to take my mind off my mood or anything of that sort. It simply comes back as suddenly and inexplicably as it left in the first place.
