What Makes You Happy
|
|
But don't worry, mom, I met him in a restaurant
|
And all this time I've been getting to know him
|
He's got an ex-wife in Pasadena, and sometimes she's a mess
|
To deal with, but mostly we've been living here
|
Uninjured
|
|
There's a silence, and she says, "Listen here, young lady, all that matters is
|
What makes you happy, but you leave this house knowing my opinion won't
|
Make you love me if you don't care to."
|
|
I'm sending you this photograph, I swear
|
This one is going to last and all those other bastards
|
Were only practice
|
I feel the sun on my back...
|
I smell the earth in my skin...
|
I see the sky above me like a full recovery...
|
|
She said, "Listen here, young lady, all that matters is what makes you happy,
|
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
|
It won't make a difference if you're not ready.
|
Won't make you love me is you don't care to..."What Makes You Happy
