Pursuit Of Happiness
Lissie · Covered Up With Flowers [2012]
Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hi
Feelin' lit, feelin' light, 2 AM summer night.
I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin' my thing
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin' my life getting' out dreams
People told me slow my road I'm screaming out fuck that
I'm gonna do just what I want lookin' ahead no turnin' back
If I fall if I die, know I lived it to the fullest
If I fall if I die, know I lived and missed some bullets
[Chorus]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
[Verse 2]
Tell me what you know about dreamin', dreamin'
You don't really know about nothin', nothin'
Tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 AM, cold sweats wakin' up to the skies
Tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
Tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin'
You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
You rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow
[Chorus]
(I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know)
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
I'm on the pursuit of happiness
