about

Echoes of conversations from tougher times. The silly rhythm placeholder just started sounding more and more right. I wished I played the violin well enough to not have to keyboard it. Yes, puns intended.

lyrics

Don’t know how the battle starts
Can we skip down to the happy part?
Stop the damage to our hearts
Gotta skip down to the happy part.

It’s true in ev’ry storytelling
Tougher times are more compelling
We don’t need more tears and yelling now.
Modern life is so demanding
We all need more understanding
And sometimes a happy landing.

Guess it’s how things fall apart
Can’t we skip down to the happy part…

It’s just frustration I’m relating
But you find it irritating
And react by escalating now
We will learn to solve this riddle
Trying not to be so brittle
And approach the happy middle

Thought that we were way to smart
Can’t we skip down to the happy part…

When we see where life has brought us
What has our division got us?
Can we learn what time has taught us now?
When relationships need mending
More forgiving, less contending
And perhaps a happy ending.

Disappointment off the chart
Can we skip down to the happy part...

Wish we knew this from the start…
