Misery
Michigander Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was hung up on a dream
Being comfortable was not enough for me
But then you walked into the room
I knew all my plans were doomed
Started talking to me

So tell me what you're thinking
'Cuz I think I feel the same as you
'Cuz you've got my knees shaking
So take my heart and break it in two

I didn't want to have to go
Well I, I couldn't find a heart
I couldn't find a home
But if you think I'm misery, then baby all the company
It never leaves me alone, no

So tell me what you're thinking
'Cuz I think I feel the same as you
'Cuz you've got my knees shaking
So take my heart and break it in two

I'm trying to stay awake till I fall asleep
I'm stuck between a pillow and a dream
I'm too busy to call
Could you try next week?
You can blame it on me

So tell me what you're thinking
'Cuz I think I feel the same way as you
'Cuz you've got my knees shaking
So take my heart and break it in two

'Cuz all I want is you
Yeah all I want is you
'Cuz all I want is you




Yeah all I want is you
Yeah all I want is you
