Me and my friend wants to know, we kind of get it, but we'd like specifics, and it would even help for your opinion.

Song:

Ariella, 7:30 I don't want to get up yet

Listen to the morning music cursing the alarm you set

As you know I've never been a praying man

I don't need a God to make me feel alright

But if you wonder why I never wrote you a song

it's because happiness writes white

I tried to put it into words, but the words just sound like mistakes

I tried to find a set of chords, but you know how long that takes me

I can't trust my fingers, I can't trust my tongue

The work is too important and we're no longer young after all

When I consider what you put up with I'm amazed you still have skin

When I consider what you mean to me... it's everything

It's everything

Ariella, 11:30 I don't want to go to sleep

turn the TV off already curse the hours we have to keep

as you know I've never been a confident man

I've been in the tall grass all my life

Until you came along now there's one less thing wrong

even though happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

I know hapinesss writes white

(are you sleeping?)

  1. sounds white to me!  


  2. I can't be totally sure about the interpretation about this, but this is what I came up with. 'Happiness writes white' Could mean happiness brings forth pureness, since white could be symbolized as just that. Pureness I suppose in it's more virtual form cannot be described, or said, or truly expressed so he's saying 'but if you wonder why I never wrote you a song' is because to him it's impossible to express it [his feelings/ love for Ariella] He can't trust his 'fingers or tounge' because he doubts he can give the happiness he receives from her true it's true worth in describing it. I hope that helped. Sounds like a cool song. xD
