Brighter Discontent Lyrics

Got a brand new roof above my head
All the empty boxes thrown away
I rearranged the place
hundred times today
But the ordering of objects
Couldn't hide what's missing

All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again

Got myself a bottle of red wine
Got a night of nothing else to do
I think I might know What I
really want
But is a brighter discontent
The best that I could hope to find?

Got a big black television set
Now I can watch just what I want
But I'm here staring up At
pictures on the wall
And where are you,
You're still stuck inside them all

All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again

But love is not
these belongings That surround me Though there's meaning
In the memories they hold
A breaking heart
in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard

Got a desk I'll write myself a note
Pretending that it came from you
On hotel stationary
From the time we first met
Whatever I can do cause
I won't throw my hands up yet

All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again

But love is not
these belongings That surround you
Though there's meaning
In the memories they hold
A breaking heart
in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard

Well I'll be fine if
I dont look around me now
Too much
for what's gone
If only I can wait here just a little while
And let time pass
in my room
