LYRICS
How can I write you a happy song?
When the whole world is going to hell
Do my best to get you to sing along
And make it all better for you
For me
For all eternity
If I just wrote you a happy song
Tonight
When I was seventeen years old and not much more
Think I thought I'd seen it all before
Was all like screw it
I thought I knew it all
And I could find truth
Whatever that might be
But now I feel like I can't see
Go, let it be
The world around me
Spinning endlessly
How can I write you a happy song?
When the whole world is going to hell
Do my best to get you to sing along
And make it all better for you
For me
For all eternity
If I just wrote you a happy song
Tonight
Well that was seventeen and now I'm twenty-four
Give or take a few years
And it's all gone
It's all gone wrong
I thought I'd have it all
And I can't find truth
Whatever that might be
And now I think I finally see
That it's not me
No I'm not the one
Who could know just what should be
How can I write you a happy song?
When the whole world is going to hell
Do my best to get you to sing along
And make it all better for you
For me
For all eternity
If I just wrote you a happy song
Tonight
