Happiness Lyrics

Don't know what I want to do
My laziness will see me through
Happiness is all I need
The truth is never guaranteed

I'll let my state of mind content me
'til I know where my life has sent me to

All day long is long enough
To fill my head with useless stuff
Wisdom sometimes comes my way
Stolen from the words you say

I'll let my state of mind content me
'til I know where my life has sent me to

My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
You've got one to lend me

What I don't see will sometimes find me
The truth is not what love will blind me to

My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
You've got one to lend me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Always nice to see a honest song about being settled. Especially considering the amount of restless songs on the album Howdy - the narrator trying to seek a new future/new love. This one appears earnest enough, and a beautiful chorus/middle 8 to boot.
