Happiness
Wingtip Lyrics

Summer night, late July
The beginning of a summer romance filled with excitement and anticipation.

A little nervous with your hand in mine
Feeling anxious yet thrilled with the prospect of holding hands with your new love.

Eyes closed, you let me know
The understanding between the two people without words, just a look that says everything is all right.

You just feel like you’re letting go
Surrendering oneself to the feeling of love and allowing it to take over without any fear.

Summer days in a haze
The feeling of being lost in love and not being present in reality.

‘Cause I know you didn’t feel the same
The realization that the other person doesn't reciprocate the same feelings.

Not about sticking around
The decision to move on and not hold onto something that doesn't bring happiness.

‘Cause your heart’s not in it now yeah
The other person's heart isn't in the relationship anymore, and it's time to accept that and let go.

All of the signs I’ve missed
The hindsight realization of all the signs that were overlooked, pointing to the end of the relationship.

And all of the things I took for granted
Realizing the importance of the little things that were taken for granted in the relationship.

Just thought love was like this
The naïve belief that love is effortless and straightforward.

But I was wrong
Coming to the conclusion that the idea of love was much simpler than the reality of it.

If you find happiness
The emphasis on finding and holding onto happiness when it's discovered.

Hold onto it, hold onto it
The advice to hold onto happiness tightly and not let it slip away.

‘Cause most of us are bad at it
Acknowledging that most people struggle to find and keep happiness.

Got aching ribs from faking it
The pain and discomfort that comes from pretending to be happy when it's not genuine.

And even if it dissolves
The realization that happiness might not last forever, but it's still worth having.

It's still better than nothing at all
Understanding that even if happiness is fleeting, it's still better than not having it at all.

So if you find happiness
The importance of recognizing and cherishing happiness when it's present.

Hold onto it, yeah
The emphasis on not letting go of happiness once it's found.

Not your fault, you couldn’t fall
Understanding that sometimes, despite best intentions, the other person cannot fall in love.

Know it's hard being vulnerable
Acknowledging the difficulty of being open and vulnerable in a relationship.

Got a lot of stuff stuck inside
Feeling trapped and unable to express emotions or thoughts honestly and openly.

Got a lot of hurt we hide behind, but
The pain of past hurts hidden behind the fear of being vulnerable.

You’re not alone, you never know
The reassurance that nobody is alone in their fears and uncertainties in relationships.

What it is that makes you so sad for
The confusion and lack of understanding regarding one's emotions and feelings in a relationship.

Cold hearts sometimes
The realization that sometimes, despite best intentions, people's hearts might be too cold and guarded to fall in love.

New day, the same hurt, eh
The repetitive pain and heartache that comes with trying and failing to find love.
