You’re Finally Happy... So Why Does It Feel Wrong? | EVARA LOUD - Almost Happy

You’re finally happy. Nothing is going wrong. Somehow, that’s the problem. EVARA LOUD - “Almost Happy” is a bright, anxious glam arena-rock song about finally getting a peaceful moment and immediately searching for the disaster hiding underneath it. She knows heartbreak. She knows betrayal. She knows how to leave before someone else gets the chance. What she doesn’t know how to do is trust a good day. “Almost Happy” turns that feeling into bright guitars, moving bass, crisp live drums, a huge melodic chorus, and an uneasy question underneath all of it: What happens when happiness feels more suspicious than pain? From EVARA LOUD’s third album era, THE MORNING AFTER. For listeners drawn to the emotional arena-rock energy and female-fronted rock audiences around Halestorm, The Warning, and classic Pat Benatar, while remaining an original fictional artist with her own sound, songs, and visual world.

LYRICS Sun through the window Coffee going cold You said nothing dangerous I didn’t know what to hold You were laughing at the jukebox I was watching every door There was no one coming for us That had never happened before No headline on the table No lipstick on a lie You touched my hand so gently I nearly let it feel all right Then the room got quiet Not the kind that means goodbye Just the kind where two people Don’t have to fill the time I was almost happy, then I noticed Nothing in the room was going wrong No goodbye hiding in your pocket No warning buried in the song I was almost happy, then I noticed How good it felt to let it last So I pulled the fire alarm inside me Just to make the feeling pass Almost happy That was close Almost happy Nobody knows I asked who you were texting You said nobody at all I heard an accusation Where there wasn’t one at all You brought me something simple You remembered how I take it I turned kindness into evidence And dared you not to break it You said nothing’s happening Like that should calm me down But nothing is the loudest thing When trouble’s not around I was almost happy, then I noticed Nothing in the room was going wrong No goodbye hiding in your pocket No warning buried in the song I was almost happy, then I noticed How good it felt to let it last So I pulled the fire alarm inside me Just to make the feeling pass Almost happy That was close Almost happy Nobody knows Maybe I don’t miss the heartbreak Maybe I just know its name Maybe joy feels like a stranger And fear still knows the place Maybe I keep checking exits Because staying feels too real Maybe nothing has to happen For a good thing to be real No shattered glass No final call No cruel surprise No fall at all You’re still here The light is on Maybe nothing Isn’t wrong I was almost happy, then I noticed Nothing in the room was going wrong No goodbye hiding in your pocket No warning buried in the song I was almost happy, then I noticed I could let the moment last I reached for the fire alarm inside me Then I let the feeling pass I was almost happy, now I know it I don’t have to make it hurt Maybe peace is not an ambush Maybe love can simply work Almost happy Let it stay Almost happy Anyway Sun through the window Coffee going cold Nothing bad happened I’m learning how to hold it Subscribe for the next EVARA LOUD release. #ArenaRock #Halestorm #TheWarning #EVARALOUD
