Not Quite Happiness Lyrics by Good Old War

Come Back As Rain

2012

Walking into the night
I would take nothing for me, nothing at all
Knowing I could go on
Just to have called you my lover, who would have known?

CHORUS:
Oh missing everything, our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness, just love

Each time I missed your face
I would come walking back to you so scared
You said, what if we changed all of our most unchangeable mistakes?

Oh missing everything, our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness, just love, just love, just love

Oh missing happiness, our hands were tied together
Our hearts knew everything our heads would soon discover

Oh missing everything, our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness, just love, just love, just love
