Discover the story of the song > Happiness – The Fray

The song is about how happiness can be elusive and hard to hold onto. The protagonist realizes that happiness is not something that can be forced or controlled, but rather something that comes and goes on its own. Sometimes happiness can feel like sadness and can even be destructive, but the key is to let it go and live life. Eventually, true happiness will come and stay for good, just like the protagonist's partner who will one day return home.
