I've always found that happiness hides
Just around the corner just out of my reach
And the moment its found the next that it's missing
And I need to change my own definition la da da da, da da da da da
Cause nothing's ever quite all that it seems
And I am not convinced that anybody is ever living the dream
And expectations kill as reality plays this show of your life
It's a whole different scene
Yeah, I'm changing what it means to be happy, what it means
Yeah, back to the way I know that it should be,
Close to you is where I need to be
No matter how hard we push or how hard we pull
There's just a little bit more 'til we're full
Cause we've all tried to cover sadness and sorrow
With temporary things that never seem to last
Yeah, I'm changing what it means to be happy, what it means
Yeah, back to the way I know that it should be
So explain to me why we fill up empty with empty and at the end of the day
We're confused by the longing
change it back, change it back, change it back, oh change it back,
change it back, change it back, change it back, change it back,
Yeah, I'm changing what it means to be happy, what it means
Yeah, back to the way I know that it should be
The way that it should be
Yeah, I'm changing what it means to be happy
What it means to be happy, to be happy, truly happy
Close to you is where I need to be mm mm….
Change it back, da da da
Change it back
