Finds Its Way To Me

[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
