My Happiness
Powderfinger Lyrics

I see your shadow on the street now
I catch myself noticing your presence around me, even though you're not physically here

I hear you push through the rusty gate
I can sense your arrival, even through the most subtle sounds

Click of your heels on the concrete
Your mere presence creates a symphony that I can't ignore

Waiting for a knock coming way too late
I wait eagerly for you to knock on my door, even though I know it's highly unlikely

It seems an age since I've seen you Countdown as the weeks trickle into days
The wait feels eternal, as it drags on from weeks to days

So you come in and put your bags down I know there's something in the air How can I do this to you right now If you're over there when I need you here
I sense that something's wrong, but I can't bring myself to bring up the topic, especially since you're not even here with me

My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in It must be when you pack up and go
I feel myself becoming happy again, now that you're back home with me, but deep down, I know that it won't last forever, and that realization will only come when you leave me once again

I know I know I know what is inside
I understand what you're going through, and I can empathize with your emotions

You're over there when I need you here
Even though you're physically present somewhere else, I long for your emotional presence here with me
