Closer To Happy
Joseph · Closer to Happy
Wake up alone
First thing
Can I bring myself to say I love you
Out loud
I love you
Put my hand on my heart
Breathe in
Even though I know nothing's okay
I'm here
It's safe
Even if I don't mean it
Say that I care
Show that I care
I just wanna know what you want
What do you want?
I wanna be sweet to you, darling
So tell me, tell me
What it is
I'm listening
Come on
Get closer to me
I wanna be closer to me
This is urgent
Listen
Everybody needs understanding
I need understanding
I know it hurts
I'm trying
I know I can ride through the shockwaves
I know this pain
It'll be okay
Even if I don't mean it
Say that I care
Show that I care
Even if I don't mean it yet
Say that I care
Show that I care
I just wanna know what you want
What do you want?
I wanna be sweet to you, darling
So tell me, tell me
What it is
I'm listening
Come on
Get closer to me
I wanna be closer to me
I just wanna know what you want
What do you want?
I wanna be sweet to you, darling
So tell me, tell me
What it is
I'm listening
Come on
Get closer to me
I wanna be closer to me (closer to me)

About Closer To Happy
"Closer To Happy" presents Joseph through a specific song idea rather than a full career summary. The safest way to approach the recording is to focus on what the title and credited performance suggest: a compact musical statement shaped by voice, groove, arrangement, and tone. If the listed version includes extra mix or soundtrack wording, the core song still depends on how its hook and mood carry across that context. For listeners exploring Joseph, "Closer To Happy" can be understood as a standalone track that adds another color to the artist's recorded work without needing exaggerated claims.
