I had to rise above. I had to change my thinking.
I had to find the love that was lost and sinking
I had to step up to the plate and analyze my swing
I had to learn to do some bending
Cuz everybody loves a happy ending
Everybody loves a happy ending
Like a dream coming true
Everybody loves a happy ending
What about you
I wish I had a bad vice or a brilliant addiction
If I just cover up my eyes or drown myself in fiction
Then I could run around like you and not this bloody open wound
And I could concentrate on mending
Cuz everybody needs a happy ending
Everybody loves a happy ending
Like a dream coming true
Everybody loves a happy ending
What about you
Don’t know if time and I will make it through
Red flags are flying every day
I do know love is the way to you
And all the pointless issues pending, and heavy baggage I’m defending
Fall apart when living disobeys
I had to clean up shop. I had to make amends.
I had to walk the walk, talk the talk, stop the clock and tie up all the loose ends
It’s such a giant waste of time holding on to old grime
When there’s light to be tending–
And everybody gets their happy ending
Everybody loves a happy ending
Like a dream coming true
Everybody loves a happy ending
What about you
