Harvey
Her's - Topic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

VERSE 1
Some people think I'm acting worse for wear
Suffice to say this is a quaint affair
But no one really knows me like Harvey
And once you've met him I'm sure you'll agree

PRE CHORUS
Yeah I get it, you wanna know
Who he is, where we go
Yeah I get it, you wanna see
What it is, him and me

CHORUS
Harvey nobody knows what I see
Nobody knows I'm waiting
Waiting for you to call
Harvey nobody knows what I see
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
Crazy for you oh boy

VERSE 2
Barked at the moon amid an empty street
We felt the remnants of the evening heat
Said Harvey let me be the one to say
I wouldn't dream this any other way

PRE CHORUS
Yeah I get it
You wanna know
Who he is, where we go
Yeah I get it, you wanna see
What it is, him and me

CHORUS
Harvey nobody knows what I see
Nobody knows I'm waiting
Waiting for you to call
Harvey nobody knows what I see




Everyone thinks I'm crazy
Crazy for you oh boy
