about

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

lyrics

There's one light left on this dead-end street
Just flickering in the summer heat
It's casting creepy shadows on the wall
About ten miles back, you floored the gas
Now, you can't stop and you can't crash
Rock bottom's never really there at all

If you want, we could keep on going down
And I swear that fear of falling will keep your feet right on the ground

CHORUS
Oh, I've been looking for something
Don't know what I lost just yet, but I'll know when it's found
Oh, I've been reaching for nothing
Like it could be everything, but nothing's bringing me down

There's one drop left in this paper cup
Just enough caffeine to press our luck
It seems like we've been wide awake for days
The eyeballs ache, but the lids are numb
Bright spots from staring at the sun
So you can't see the tears run down your face

If you want, we could cry this whole thing out
Turn hurt into an ocean and try like hell not to drown

CHORUS
Oh, I've been looking for something
Don't know what I lost just yet, but I'll know when it's found
Oh, I've been reaching for nothing
Like it could be everything, but nothing's bringing me down

If you want, we could turn this car around
It's a little too late to break now, honey
But I'd figure it out
I'd go back with you
And make it right this time around, 'cause

CHORUS
Oh, I've been looking for something
Don't know what I lost just yet, but I'll know when it's found
Oh, I've been reaching for nothing
Like it could be everything, but nothing's bringing me down
