Lyrics meaning
The singer describes regretting a separation and deciding to return to someone they love. Being apart has made their feelings clearer: they miss the other person more each day and now want to repair the relationship. The mood moves from loneliness and regret toward hope and cheerful anticipation, as the singer sets out to reunite.
โWalking back to happinessโ is a metaphor: happiness is not a place the singer literally walks to, but a shared state they hope to regain by coming back. The phrase โlaid aside foolish prideโ means giving up stubbornness that may have kept the couple apart. โAll my blues have blown awayโ uses โbluesโ to mean sadness, suggesting that hope has lifted the singerโs low mood.
The lyrics present returning as a hopeful choice, but they do not tell us how the other person feels or whether the reunion will succeed. The singer admits that words and mistakes caused trouble, and promises to make up for them, yet the song focuses more on the joy of being on the way back than on the difficulty of rebuilding trust. โHappinessโ may therefore mean both the past relationship and the possibility of starting again.
