Lyrics
Verse 1:
I used to pick out wedding rings
by the second round of drinks.
Plan our whole damn future out
before he could even blink.
Pre-Chorus:
No wonder second dates were rare - I always wanted more.
Hunting for happy endings - always keeping score.
Chorus:
I was hunting for a happy ending
Before we'd even figured out good.
Then I jumped into a different story line
And finally understood.
When I quit tryin' so hard to land one
And got out of my own head.
I quit hunting for a happy ending
And found a happy right now ... instead.
Verse 2:
You came along last summer,
didn't make no big speech
Just said "I'll grab some beer
and meet you by the beach"
Pre-Chorus:
Six months in - still just laughing, still just having fun
Now my mind keeps whispering, I think I might have found the one!
Chorus:
I was hunting for a happy ending
Before we'd even figured out good.
Then I jumped into a different story line
And finally understood.
When I quit tryin' so hard to land one
And got out of my own head.
I quit hunting for a happy ending
And found a happy right now ... instead.
Solo Break:
Bridge:
They say love will follow you down
Funny thing - this one found me
When I quit chasin' it around
When I finally just let it be.
Final Chorus:
I was hunting for a happy ending
Before we'd even figured out good.
Then I jumped into a different story line
And finally understood.
When I quit tryin' so hard to land one
And got out of my own head.
I quit hunting for a happy ending
And found a happy right now ... instead.
