Story Behind The Song

I actually wrote this song in a time of depression. Struggling with college, finances, and a failing relationship. I initially kept asking the question, "What would make me happy, love?" and i was directing the question towards GOD (love). At the time

Lyrics

Intro
What would make me happy love?
What would make me happy love?

I've been trying to keep my head in the clouds.
Whats wrong with going up, up and never coming down?
Believe me, i have heard all the words they have said,
None-the-less, everlong, its still in my head.

Verse 1
What would make me happy love?
How about some cash in my pocket for a while?
What would make me happy love?
How much for that smile?

What would make me happy love?
A brand new car would be, oh, so nice.
What would make me happy love?
Do you need a ride?

Change 1
Well, its an issue that burdons me.
I just wanted joy, eternally.
People say i've lost my mind
but i feel fine.

So what else am i to do?
I'm stuck here in my pursuit,
of happiness and a peace of soul...
Ooo... i see you "roll"...
And i start to lose control... and then i know...
Your making me flow...

Verse 2
What would make me happy love?
How about dinner in a fancy restaraunt?
What would make me happy love?
Order what you want...

What would make me happy love?
A night at the theater would be fine.
What would make me happy love?
What's on your mind?

Change 2
Well, i've been searching for such joy.
It can't be found... in all of my toys.
Look at me as i drift away
when i hear you say,

"Hey come ride with me."
Let's see what we can be,
and i will melt away in your arms
But, Ooo, don't be alarmed
I only speak from my heart and i hear it say,
"you take me away."

Outro
What would make ME happy love?
What would make YOU happy love?
it's the same,
as what would make me happy love,
in this game... in this game...
