happiness
Nemo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh other days
It all seemed much clear, oh
Where to go?
The way on was nearer
All I know is I have to find you now
Where to go?

And as a wave strolls on in
I feel a new reality begin
And as I lose myself, I go
Back to the only happiness I know

Whose to blame?
I can't help but hear you call my name
But I've never seen you
Who can tell?
The world I belong to, oh
Help me out, oh...

And as a wave strolls on in
I feel a new reality begin
And as I lose myself, I go
Back to the only happiness I know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And as a wave strolls on in
I feel a new reality begin
And as I lose myself, I go




Back to the only happiness I know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
