Happy Faces
Nostalgic Yearning: Seeking Lost Smiles
Lyrics
Wish I could go back to
Desire to return to a past time.
when we wore happy faces
Nostalgia for a time when happiness was more prevalent.
But the smiles all fade
Happiness diminishes as people change.
When we change
Changes affect the ability to maintain joy.
And we can’t erase it
The inability to undo or forget these changes.
Is it too late
Questioning if there's still a chance to retain someone or something.
To make you stay
Desire to prevent someone from leaving.
Is it all just a state of mind?
Questioning the reality of the situation.
Wish I could go back to
Reiteration of the longing for a happier past.
When we wore happy faces
A repetition highlighting the nostalgia for joyful times.
Twisting words
Communication issues, not expressing true thoughts.
We don’t say what we mean
Failure to articulate genuine feelings.
Broke the glass
Breaking something symbolic of permanence.
Things don’t stay evergreen
Things losing their perpetual vibrancy.
It’s been a hard pill to swallow and now
A challenging truth to accept.
We’re coming down
Coming to terms with a difficult reality.
We’re coming down
Repetition emphasizing a downward spiral.
Wish I could go back to
Desire to return to a past time.
when we wore happy faces
Nostalgia for a time when happiness was more prevalent.
But the smiles all fade
Happiness diminishes as people change.
When we change
Changes affect the ability to maintain joy.
And we can’t erase it
The inability to undo or forget these changes.
Is it too late
Questioning if there's still a chance to retain someone or something.
To make you stay
Desire to prevent someone from leaving.
Is it all just a state of mind?
Questioning the reality of the situation.
Wish I could go back to
Reiteration of the longing for a happier past.
When we wore happy faces
A repetition highlighting the nostalgia for joyful times.
Side by side and still the bed is cold
Despite closeness, emotional distance persists.
Spent the night but I still slept alone
Physical presence doesn't bridge emotional separation.
In your head it’s all been said before
Repeated discussions without resolution.
But I can’t stand to see us let it go
Refusal to witness the relationship's deterioration.
Lemme know
A plea for understanding or insight.
If you think that we’d be better on our own
Considering if separation is preferable.
Lemme know
A desire for guidance or clarity.
Where to go
Seeking direction or resolution.
Does everything always have to be set in stone cause I
Questioning the inevitability of situations.
Wish I could go back to
Desire to return to a past time.
when we wore happy faces
Nostalgia for a time when happiness was more prevalent.
But the smiles all fade
Happiness diminishes as people change.
When we change
Changes affect the ability to maintain joy.
And we can’t erase it
The inability to undo or forget these changes.
Is it too late
Questioning if there's still a chance to retain someone or something.
To make you stay
Desire to prevent someone from leaving.
Is it all just a state of mind?
Questioning the reality of the situation.
Wish I could go back to
Reiteration of the longing for a happier past.
When we wore happy faces
A repetition highlighting the nostalgia for joyful times.
