Happy came to visit me, he bought cookies on the way
I poured him tea and he told me it'll all be okay
Well I told him I'd do anything to have him stay with me
So he laid me down, and I felt Happy come inside of me
He laid me down, and I felt happy
Oh if you're going, take the train
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you
I was in the bathroom, I didn't hear him leave
I locked the door behind him and I turned around to see
All the cookie wrappers and the empty cups of tea
Well I sighed and mumbled to myself again, I have to clean
I sighed and mumbled to myself
If you're going, take the train
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you
And if you're going, take the moon
Then maybe I will see you, in the night I'll see you
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you
I poured him tea and he told me it'll all be okay
Well I told him I'd do anything to have him stay with me
So he laid me down, and I felt Happy come inside of me
He laid me down, and I felt happy
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you
I locked the door behind him and I turned around to see
All the cookie wrappers and the empty cups of tea
Well I sighed and mumbled to myself again, I have to clean
I sighed and mumbled to myself
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you
Then maybe I will see you, in the night I'll see you
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you

"Happy came to visit me, he bought cookies on the way\nI poured him tea and he told me it\'ll all be okay"\n\nnotice how "happy" comes and brings cookies and tea ok.\n\nthen: "He laid me down, and I felt happy" so happiness is brought by this person. He spends time with the narrator. \n\n"I locked the door behind him and I turned around to see\nAll the cookie wrappers and the empty cups of tea." after he goes, there are no more cookies and teas etc. because he left taking away the narrator\'s happiness too. \n\nhe comes, brings happiness (seems like it) and then goes away and leaves her sad again. \nso here what makes me as a listener think is, the "happiness" is an illusion but not a real happiness if it can appear and disappear relating to a person.\n\nalso he "lays the narrator down", "come inside of me" so it is very apparent that the said person is only using the narrator for sex and nothing really more, doesn\'t bring "true love" or "happiness" which is basically the core theme of most mitski songs especially the album "puberty 2" where this song is in.
