[Verse 1]
Coffee cup ring on the table
Sun sneaks in through the blinds
Same old crack in the ceiling
Same old mess in my mind
You laugh once and the room shifts
Tiny spark in all this grey
It’s not thunder
It’s a footstep
But I feel it anyway
[Chorus]
Happiness
Like a song
Starts quiet
One small sound in the dark
Then a riot
Every note that we climb
Every fall we survive
Takes time
Takes work
But it stays
It stays alive
Happiness
Like a song
Like a song
[Verse 2]
Burned-out street on a Monday
Long list inked on my hand
All these half-finished moments
Scattered pieces of a band
You take my phone
Say “just listen”
To the traffic keeping time
Suddenly there’s a rhythm
In the chaos of my life
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
It ain’t lightning in a bottle
It’s a calloused pair of hands
It’s the rewrites and the practice
Till the broken pieces land
[low vocal register] I was waiting for it
Waiting for it
To just crash into my chest
[build] But it’s built with every morning
Every failure we outlast
[Chorus]
