Happiness
Is temporarily
Forgetting what it means
To be caught in this treadmill
That just keeps on going
And god knows it's not going anywhere
Happiness
Is incidentally
Neglecting how futile
And meaningless
Our thoughts and our actions
But god knows the devil may care
There's a switch in my head that I don't control
Makes all sense disappear,
Drops me deep in a hole
Where I stand on my own
I have been nice today so leave me alone
Happiness
Is unmistakably
A failure to see
What's so clear to me
Down here

Ghost

There's something about her
That’s hard to see up close
But when she’s gone I know
When she’s gone I know
When she’s not around
I feel just like a ghost
Like I’m see through
Or I don’t exist at all
And I want to be seen
But I don’t want you to know
The lies that surround me
Although they are my own
Usually fail in their purpose
I always question what I’m told
And I remember new years
And being tired but full of hope
Well that was one of those lies
But how could I have known
So I wait, and wait
For the lights to come on
’Cause I wan’t you to find me
But I don’t wanna show

Foundation

She says faith is all that matters
Sometimes it is all we have
But when all our hope is shattered
Tell me what is left for us
Can you help me understand it
Maybe show me how it’s done
Even when it’s never-ending
Can you tell me how you stay so strong
When the day is done our race has been run
Can you show me the foundation that you’re on
She says faith is all that matters
In the end it’s all we've got
When all our hope is shattered
Faith is all that matters

Do you miss me
Just as much as I miss you
I miss your smell, your warmth, your laughter
And most of all I miss the love that we once knew
When you were with me
When I was with you
I wish I could’ve done much better
But I know that I did al that I could do
And it just wasn’t enough to pull us through
And I know that you did too
When I think back on the good times
And think about the love
Seems like it’s been such a long time
Don’t you think we’ve learned enough
What we did was for the best
But now that things have come to rest
I think we might belong together
And I’m scared to death I missed my shot at luck
You and I were tangled up
But we put that to a stop
Now can’t we try to start things over
‘Cause I feel like time has healed all that it can
And I still feel like half a man
Baby think back on the good times
And think about the love
Does it seem like such a long time ago
Don’t you think we’ve learned enough
Don't you think we've learned enough

Old Friend

From time to time I see you passing by
I don't know if you see me too
You never show the signs
But you're an old friend of mine
You're already an old friend of mine
We run into each other every now and then
There's always something else to do
But yeah, we'll call to meet again
Old friend
You're already an old friend of mine
Last night I saw some pictures
Shot a couple years ago
The two of us, the place I don't recall
And judging by our looks you'd say
We haven't changed a bit
But there is more than looks
As you and I both know

When you’re fighting but it’s not enough
And you’re getting close to giving up
When it’s your game, but it’s gone too rough
And you feel it’s gonna have to stop
Just get this in your mind, it’s not the end
Sometimes it’s just too hard to take a stand
Find yourself some distance, just step back
And clear your head
When you worry ‘cause there’s not much time
If it follows you all through the night
You’ll wake up and you will find
You’ve only just postponed the fight
There’s no use trying to save what’s lost and gone
When you’re too close to see where it went wrong
Find yourself some distance, just step back
And clear your head
When you’re fighting but it’s not enough
(clear your head, find some distance)
And you’re getting close to giving up
(you’re just too close to see what’s wrong)
When it’s your game, but it’s gone too rough
(there’s no use trying to save what’s gone)
And you feel it’s gonna have to stop
(clear your head, clear your head)
