Michael Stipe and Rain Phoenix Happiness Lyrics

It seems the things I've wanted in my life I've never had.
So it's no surprise that living only leaves me sad.

Happiness, where are you? I've searched so long for you.
Happiness, what are you? I haven't got a clue.
Happiness, why do you have to stay so far away... from me?

When I'm in despair and life has turned into a mess,
I know that I don't dare to end my search for happiness.

Happiness, where are you? I've searched so long for you.
Happiness, what are you? I haven't got a clue.
Happiness, why do you have to stay so far away... from me?

Happiness, sometimes I think I see you from afar.
When I run to catch you, though, that's just not where you are.

Happiness, sometimes I think I see you from afar.
When I run to catch you, though, that's just not where you are.

Happiness, you know I'll get a hold of you some way (gonna find it).
Until I do, you know I'll keep on searching every day (gonna find it).

Happiness, where are you? I've searched so long for you.
Happiness, what are you? I haven't got a clue.
Happiness, why do you have to stay so far away... from me?

Gonna find it, gonna find it, gonna find my happiness.
Gonna find it, gonna find it, gonna find my happiness.
Gonna find it, gonna find it, gonna find my happiness.
Gonna find it, gonna find it, gonna find my happiness.

When I'm in despair and life has turned into a mess (gonna find it)
I know that I don't dare to end my search for happiness (gonna find my...)

Happiness, where are you? I'm gonna get to you.
Happiness, what are you? I'll know before I'm through.
Happiness, you know you just can't stay, so far away... from me.

Happiness, where are you? I'm gonna get to you.
Happiness, what are you? I'll know before I'm through.
Happiness, you know you just can't stay, so far away... from me.

Happiness where are you? I'm gonna get to you.
Happiness what are you? I'll know before I'm through.
