[Verse 1] I leave the porch light burning though I’m halfway down the hall The kettle clicks to silence; rain keeps tapping at the wall I’ve learned to fold the bad days small and tuck them in a drawer But every morning asks me what I’m still waiting for [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I don’t have to chase it Maybe it can cross the room Maybe all this tired patience Is making somewhere for it to move [Chorus] I hope happiness finds its way to me Past the locked doors, past the years I couldn’t see Not a grand arrival, not a perfect sky Just a little less afraid when I open my eyes I hope happiness finds its way to me [Verse 2] There’s a chipped blue cup beside the sink I never throw away A neighbor’s laugh comes through the wall and warms the end of day I used to think that getting better meant I’d never hurt again Now I’m learning some small mercy can begin where I am [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I don’t have to name it Maybe it can take its time Maybe hope is just the window I forgot I left unblinded [Chorus] I hope happiness finds its way to me Past the locked doors, past the years I couldn’t see Not a grand arrival, not a perfect sky Just a little less afraid when I open my eyes I hope happiness finds its way to me [Bridge] If it comes in ordinary clothes If it speaks in someone asking how I’ve been I’ll make room beside the quiet I’ll let the morning in [Final Chorus] I hope happiness finds its way to me Through the worn-out days, through the doubt I couldn’t leave Not a grand arrival, not a perfect sky Just a little more of me willing to try I hope happiness finds its way to me Finds its way to me [Outro] The porch light’s on I’m still here
