all the words you pull off in your back
they fail you
and exclude all these thoughts
you thought you had worked out
now you're biting your cheeks
'cause your tongue has betrayed you
oh, no, oh

when you haven't figured out
how to save us the embarrassment
when you haven't figured out
how to laugh at yourself
and your bursting guts open
over and over and over this town, oh

happiness
come closer to this tune
happiness
come closer to this tune

hoping you'll calm
into a peace that keeps you
in the place where meaning is meant

have you ever seen a scene
where the room is all worked up
to her favorite sampled feelings of haige
when you're at the beginning
we started over and over this town

when you haven't figured out
how to save us the embarassment
when you haven't figured out
how to laugh at yourself
when your bursting guts open
over and over this town, oh

happiness
come closer to this tune
happiness
come closer to this tune

hoping you'll calm
into a peace that keeps you
in a place where meaning is meant

this laugh is real just 'cause it came from
tell me he wrote this (x3)
heart, that you hide where we will never find

this laugh is real just 'cause it came from
tell me he wrote this (x3)
heart, that you hide where we will never find

this laugh is real just 'cause it came from down
this heart on another lovely goddamn day
on another lovely goddamn day
hey-ey-ey-ah, oh-oh-ohh
