I might be sinking like a stone, but perfectly happy, just openly happy
And is that enough?
The universe opens up the door
It's something we ain't seen before
And it's still enough
To clip off our carefree flapping wings
The moving sky, the rocks below all so perfectly happy alone
And we go right in, it's there, it's new, it's cool
The shadows of doubt on how things turn out are typically gray
And can we be happy, happy alone?
But even the stopped clock on the wall is right two times a day
Just how much distance means we're on our own?
Would it be fair to say that you're in love with love?
So burn my mail, destroy the phone, yeah, I'd rather be happy alone
In my heart I've always known, I gotta be happy alone
And five minutes in, an egg timer rings
Until I see you off at home, down the sidewalk in my head
I bet you feel really potent stuff
But it's still enough
Show us the things we can't afford then throw us overboard
Just how much distance means we're on our own?
