Happiness is an anti love song. When I first met my wife and the strength of those feelings. Its something I'd never felt before. Luckily I married her but this song was me imagining what it would feel like if we hadn't made it and if the relationship had fallen apart. "What you gave me, oh baby, I won't ever feel again. Oh what I'd give, My god what I'd give for that happiness"
It's also ironically titled happiness because the song is actually about crippling sadness. 🤓
lyrics
I’m alive I guess that's reason to get dressed
I felt the summer in my cheeks, I felt the winter in my chest
Oh, but lately I've been thinking myself to death
I’ve been picturing you in a wedding dress
I won't sleep if you won’t
No I won't sleep if you won’t
Until normal life resumes again
Sleep is inconvenient
You were like a seed inside my head
I felt the bloom, I felt the growth and I felt it end.
But what you gave me, oh baby, I won't ever feel again
Oh what i’d give,
My god, what I'd give for that happiness.
You showed me beauty in places it shouldn't grow
You showed me ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’
I wont sleep if you wont
No, I wont sleep if wont
Until normal life resumes again
Sleep is inconvenient
You were like a seed inside my head
I felt the bloom, I felt the growth and I felt it end.
But what you gave me, oh baby, I won't ever feel again
Oh what i’d give,
My god, what I’d give for that happiness
For that happiness
For that happiness
For that happiness
