Misty
Butterknife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heart melting bittersweet
You felt like summer
And I am spring
Cold hands and cold feet
Breathe to my heartbeat
You feel like home to me
Don't wanna miss this high
I wanna be up all night
With you-oh-oh
Wanna escape the low
Find a place to go
With you-oh-oh
Got a one way ticket
Please let me fix this
I swell with deep regret
Fill my empty footsteps
The wind echoes back your name
Tell me I'm not insane
Butterflies in my chest
I know you know me the best
Don't wanna miss this high
I wanna be up all night
With you-oh-oh
Wanna escape the low
Find a place to go
With you-oh-oh
The lyrics of the song "Misty" by Butterknife evokes a feeling of longing and a desire to remain in the moment with the person the singer is addressing. The opening lines "Dance gently down the street, Heart melting bittersweet" is an allusion to a moment shared between the singer and the addressee. The second line, "You felt like summer, And I am spring" implies that the singer is an optimistic and hopeful individual, while the person he is addressing is someone who brings warmth and vitality into his life.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses his desire to be with this person all night, never wanting to miss the high moments that come with their relationship. He wants to be in their presence, sharing their experiences and feelings, never wanting to escape from the joy that comes with their relationship. However, the singer also acknowledges that their relationship may not always be smooth, and things may not always be perfect. But he still wants to be with this person and never lose them, even when things are not going well.
The lyrics of "Misty" express a very relatable emotion, where two people are trying to work things out, despite their differences. It is about acknowledging that things may not always be perfect, but still being committed to the relationship, and most importantly, the person.
