Lyrics

It's been a little while, since I was in this chair
It's been a little while, for me to need repair
For I only came here when troubled
I only came here in need
I'm only here when the world's too much, making this my sanctuary

Whenever I'm lost you make me found
Whenever I hurt you ease the pain
Whenever I need to right the wrongs
We write a happy ending

Somehow the therapy makes harmony
Somehow new melodies let me feel free
Lifting whatever clouds over me
To find a happy ending

Yes listener I know you're wondering why I am here
What is it that made me come return to this chair
Well I'm sorry, there's nothing here to speculate on
It's the absence of a feeling that been plaguing my privilege now life's going easy
Maybe too little time, yet otherwise fine
Though things are good in this sweet spot of life
There's no sour, and no bitter, is that alive? Yeah!

Whenever I'm lost you make me found
Whenever I hurt you ease the pain
Whenever I need to right the wrongs
We write a happy ending

If the life doesn't move or shake you, is it a life?
If I stay in this world of beige I've nothing to write!
Maybe I'm older and wiser, maybe emotions they don't hit the same
But maybe the next time I come here, won't bring the darkness, I'll find a rainbow, share its tale.

Whenever I was lost you made me found
Whenever I hurted you eased the pain
Whenever I needed to right life's wrongs
We wrote a happy ending!

Let me write these words down in gold
I will remember through ‘til I'm old
And maybe future stories told…
…will share this happy ending.
