HAPPINESS

Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff

Happiness comes
in such small doses
I have to concentrate to pin it down
And I’ve had my share
of shattered dreams
and bloody noses
It’s hard to find yourself
in such a clever town

And the names
just rattle around inside my brain
Seems like everybody’s got no time
The distant echoes of love and lust
are driving me insane
And the difference of opinion
has blurred the line

And it’s hard to put my finger on
But I think you think I don’t belong
Pining for the superstar
Every now and then
push the limits ‘til I go too far
I’ve worn out my welcome here
so I guess that I’ll be on my way
The world won’t stop turning
There’s nothing you can say
I’m looking for a brighter day

Happiness - Shine down on me
Happiness - Shine down on me

I tell myself
there’s always tomorrow
And I try to thank God for all I’ve had
I know that somewhere
there’s bigger heartache
and greater sorrow
But I don’t understand the plan
and I’m still pretty mad
