I don't know where I got this from
I don't believe that my mom does this
Whenever I'm doing well
I think I've overlooked something

I wonder, has this always been there
That I worry too much
The whole city is long asleep again
While I'm slalom running here with my fear
And I think

You prepare yourself for the catastrophe
Looking for the catch, the double bottom
But what if it doesn't exist
And you're just briefly happy
And you dig for the "if" and the "but"
So you can tell everyone that it was clear
But what if the truth is
That you're just briefly happy
Happy
That you're just briefly happy

Can I still fix this?
Erase the panic simply?
Be happy when something new begins
Not just when something ends

Can anyone tell me, was I born this way
Or did I become this way over the years?
That I expect, when I come down
It's just the calm before the storm

And you prepare yourself for the catastrophe
Looking for the catch, the double bottom
But what if it doesn't exist
And you're just briefly happy
And you dig for the "if" and the "but"
So you can tell everyone that it was clear
But what if the truth is
That you're just briefly happy
Happy
That you're just briefly happy
Mhm, happy
That you're just briefly happy
