The crackling of vinyl
The first mild spring evening air
An unexpected day off
The long-awaited rain in August

The farewell on the platform
And the reunion afterwards
A failed compliment
And when she laughs about it anyway
Happiness is easy

Congratulating your secret great love
On their wedding after all these years
Happiness is easy
The moment when you see
To grow, sometimes you have to lose
Happiness is easy

When someone knows you too well
A sincere "I'm sorry"
"My Funny Valentine" by Miles
And a dance alone together
Happiness is easy

You can scream and curse at it
And desperately search for it
If you try to force it, it remains out of reach
You can bathe in your search
And overload it with profundity
It simply dissolves as soon as you grasp for it

The street of your childhood
A melody that sings itself
Happiness is easy
When you fight back tears
And a good friend makes you laugh
Happiness is easy

Your old favorite jacket,
That your son suddenly wears
The moment when he beats you at soccer for the first time
Happiness is easy

You can scream and curse at it
And desperately search for it
If you try to force it, it remains out of reach

You can bathe in your search
And overload it with profundity
It simply dissolves as soon as you grasp for it
Happiness is easy
Happiness is easy

When you are all alone
And the nearest person is miles away
When your big plan doesn't work out
And you realize you're just learning to let go

A long night ends
And a new day begins
The feeling that there are things
That cannot be explained
Happiness is easy

You can scream and curse at it
And desperately search for it
If you try to force it, it remains out of reach
You can bathe in your search
And overload it with profundity
It simply dissolves as soon as you grasp for it
Happiness is easy
Happiness is easy
Happiness is easy
Happiness is easy

The crackling of vinyl
The first mild spring evening air
