Happiness Lyrics by Floodlights

From a View

2020

[Verse 1: Louis Parsons]
I push past what's now
And envision myself in three days
Under the big blue sky
Without my shiny shoes or my kind regards
And I know how I feel
And what the cause is and how to fix it
I’ve scheduled times to strike
And re-route the tracks that I don’t like walking on
But there's a plethora of considerations that I must take
Before acting on these decisions
But maybe I’ve ranked them in the wrong order

[Chorus: Louis Parsons]
My timekeeper never stops
And if it did, I wouldn’t know
All my big life decisions
Stand timidly in a familiar old row
But the seconds run away
And like yesterday, I throw away the key
But I shouldn’t wait for it
'Cause happiness doesn’t wait for me

[Post-Chorus: Louis Parsons]
If I don't do it right now
And walk straight down the middle
I'm depriving myself
Of dreams I had when I was little

[Verse 2: Louis Parsons]
I decline opportunity
In hope that there's a better one ahead
Just around the corner
I don't have to wait much longer
I’ve been told that patience is a virtue
Deficiency can hurt you
On common ground we stand
In the pursuit for contentment
But luck’s just that
Some smiles don't reach their full extension

[Chorus: Louis Parsons]
My timekeeper never stops
And if it did, I wouldn’t know
All my big life decisions
Stand timidly in a familiar old row
But the seconds run away
And like yesterday, I throw away the key
But I shouldn’t wait for it
'Cause happiness doesn’t wait for me

[Post-Chorus: Louis Parsons]
If I don't do it right now
And walk straight down the middle
I'm depriving myself
Of dreams I had when I was little

[Outro: Louis Parsons]
But I’ve been waiting for far too long
My choices could be wrong
But it's drifting away
And I can't really repeat yesterday
So I put my head out
It looks different and I still have my doubts
But I shouldn’t wait for it
'Cause happiness doesn’t wait for me
'Cause happiness doesn’t wait for me
