She said “happiness is just a choice”
In that sad,strained,unhappy voice
As I looked up at her
Lying by my side like some wantable stranger
This time we almost made it
This time we came just about halfway there
This time we almost made it -yeah
She said “you don’t even try”
“And the secret to all happiness is to close one eye”
But it’s hard to live and breathe in all this pain
In the stifling claustrophobia of the same old again and again and again
But this time we almost made it
This time we came just about halfway there
This time we almost made it -yeah
She said “all this self-pity babe is just an affliction”
“And we wallow in it daily like some bitter addiction”
So I said “let’s pack our things up girl and fly”
“Turn our backs on all this discontent and wave goodbye…”
But this time we almost made it
This time we came just about halfway there
This time we almost made it -yeah
