Sure there are many other forces working against all of us all the time, but as it has been said many times before... happiness is an inside job. This song is about someone who knows but can't seem to get there...
All my life is packed up in boxes
I left them in a storage locker
I have to say, it's true today
Don't like living this way
Don't like living this way
Yellows and reds are all that I dread
But I just drive through them
I'm running away, I wake in a daze
Don't like living this way
Don't like living this way
Someday, I'll find that happiness
Was almost mine
I know this one thing
To be true
Greens and blues are what I abuse
But that's when I can find them
I'm floating away, I'll wake in eight days
Don't like living this way
Don't like living this way
Someday, I'll find that happiness
Was almost mine
I know this one thing
To be true
If you never do try, you're going to fail
But it's easier that way now
I don't want to try, I'll never fail
It's time to give up and leave
Cause it's easier that way now
I don't want to try, I got to go
Someday, I'll find that happiness
Was almost mine
I know this one thing
To be true
