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
