Cover art for She's Only Happy In The Sun lyrics by Ben Harper

i dont know if this is right..but it seems like this girl has left him bc when he says "did you find what you were after"..like something better than him..and then he says "you may not want to see me, on your way down" like the end of the relationship that she left him for...and he realizes shes only happy when everything is in the "sun" and things about absolutely perfect, but he cant really give her that..so he cant be with her...and thats why whenever he hears her laughing it makes him cry b.c hes sad hes not the one to make her laugh.
