I’ve always found that happiness hides 
Just around the corner just out of my reach
And the moment its found the next that it’s missing
And I need to change my own definition la da da da, da da da da da

Cause nothing’s ever quite all that it seems
And I am not convinced that anybody is ever living the dream
And expectations kill as reality plays this show of your life
It’s a whole different scene

Yeah, I’m changing what it means to be happy, what it means 
Yeah, back to the way I know that it should be, 
Close to you is where I need to be

No matter how hard we push or how hard we pull 
There’s just a little bit more ‘til we’re full 
Cause we’ve all tried to cover sadness and sorrow 
With temporary things that never seem to last

Yeah, I’m changing what it means to be happy, what it means 
Yeah, back to the way I know that it should be 

So explain to me why we fill up empty with empty and at the end of the day 
We’re confused by the longing

change it back, change it back, change it back, oh change it back,
change it back, change it back, change it back, change it back,

Yeah, I’m changing what it means to be happy, what it means 
Yeah, back to the way I know that it should be 
The way that it should be 

Yeah, I’m changing what it means to be happy 
What it means to be happy, to be happy, truly happy 
Close to you is where I need to be mm mm….

Change it back, da da da
Change it back
