Happy (For Now)

about

This is what happens when you sit down with a guitar and decide, hey, let's write a song about everything I hate that's happened in the past few months, and see where that gets me. As it happens, nowhere. Just a dark track.

Most depressing track on the album. I stand by every word of it.

lyrics

So you said you're seeing someone new
And I hope he's really good to you
And I hope you play games together
But I hope you're not together forever

Because I have a sneaking suspicion he's not that great
Particularly if you're not ready to date
Well I'm sorry that I left you that way
But I'm sure you'll be ready again some day

Well at least one of us is happy
And that we're not all sad
Because if none of us were happy
Then that would be bad

At least one of us is happy
I just wish it could be me
Cos I know that one day I'll be happy
But it's too far in the future to see

So I heard you two are dating now
And all I can say is, really, wow
I can't believe you heard the fact
That she's got another boyfriend and you're fine with that

Well I tried my best but wasn't good enough
Maybe some of my jokes were a little rough
And perhaps I came on a little too strong
But whatever you guys won't last very long

Well for now one of us is happy
But I get the feeling it won't last
Cos even though right now we're happy
We'll just see a repeat of the past

But at least one of us is happy
I just wish it could be me
Cos I know that one day I'll be happy
But it's too far in the future to see

Well everyone we know will one day die
And everyone we love will make us cry
And the people we look up to will turn their backs
But don't get too upset, these are just the facts

Well everyone we know will one day die
And everyone we love will make us cry
And the people we look up to probably don't give a shit
But don't get too upset, just learn to live with it

But right now one of us is happy
So let's not lose sight of that
Just remember that right now you're happy
Maybe look at pictures of cute cats

Yeah at least one of us is happy
I just wish it could be me
Cos I know that one day I'll be happy
But it's too far in the future to see
