I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow,
Like peace was the break between wars,
I'm still partly new now, but mostly older,
And I can not say I'm so sure.
CHORUS
I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it,
All of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark,
On his ark.
I may look back at today and feel foolish,
My old view was right all along,
I will rush in, where no angels are walking,
And fight for the right to be wrong.
CHORUS
'Cause I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it,
of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark,
On his ark.
Between my potential and the deep blue sea,
There's a rock and a diamond either side of me,
Between our potential and the break of day,
There is nothing at all in our way,
Nothing in our way.
Like peace was the break between wars,
I'm still partly new now, but mostly older,
And I can not say I'm so sure.
CHORUS
I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it,
All of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark,
On his ark.
I may look back at today and feel foolish,
My old view was right all along,
I will rush in, where no angels are walking,
And fight for the right to be wrong.
CHORUS
'Cause I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it,
of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark,
On his ark.
Between my potential and the deep blue sea,
There's a rock and a diamond either side of me,
Between our potential and the break of day,
There is nothing at all in our way,
Nothing in our way.
