Misted
Joel Steven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty, holding your hand

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you're near

You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you

On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love





I'm too misty, and too much in love

Overall Meaning

The song "Misty" by Joel Stevens is a classic love song that speaks volumes about the vulnerability and helplessness that often accompanies falling in love. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is completely captivated by someone else, to the point where they feel as though they are clinging to a cloud. They can't understand why they have become so enamored with this person, and their heart races every time they hold hands. The mere presence of this person sends their head spinning, as they become lost in the moment, lost in the feeling of love.


As the song continues, the singer acknowledges that they may be getting led on by this person, but they don't care. They are hopelessly lost in love, and they are content to follow wherever this person leads them. They can't imagine wandering through life alone, not knowing their right foot from their left. They are too misty and too much in love to go it alone.


The song's lyrics are a testament to the power of love and the way it can make us feel, even when we don't fully understand it ourselves.


Line by Line Meaning

Look at me
I am in a vulnerable state


I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
I feel helpless like a kitten stuck in a tree


And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I feel like I'm holding onto something intangible


I can't understand
I don't quite comprehend my feelings


I get misty, holding your hand
Being close to you makes me feel emotional


Walk my way
Come to me


And a thousand violins begin to play
I feel an overwhelming sense of happiness


Or it might be the sound of your hello
The sound of your voice makes me happy


That music I hear
I feel happy when I'm with you


I get misty the moment you're near
I feel emotional when I'm close to you


You can say that you're leading me on
You may be leading me on


But it's just what I want you to do
I want to be led on


Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
I'm lost in love with you


That's why I'm following you
I'm following my heart and my love for you


On my own
By myself


Would I wander through this wonderland alone
I would be lost without you


Never knowing my right foot from my left
I would be completely directionless


My hat from my glove
I would be unable to distinguish my belongings


I get misty, and too much in love
I feel overwhelmed with emotion and love


I'm too misty, and too much in love
My emotions are too strong
