DELIVERY
Mikaela Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I thought my world was over
Couldn't get me out of bed
But the dreams they kept rolling
Thought I couldn't get ahead

Well you know I tried praying
Tried to wish it all away
Even tried meditating
But the feelings stay the same

I'm not in control
I'm not cut out for this
So I took it back to New York
And cried to my mom, oh
I thought I'd know me by now

So I went see a doctor
He said I look mighty fine
But when I went to see the joker
He knew something's on my mind

They say it's all about delivery
Said it's all about my stance
Well the thing I like about you
Is you love me, oh you love me
Ooo you love me, you love me
Love me all the while





You love me, you love me
You love me, you love me

Overall Meaning

In this song, Mikaela Davis talks about a period of time when she felt lost and hopeless. She struggled to get out of bed and even resorted to prayer and meditation to try and make the feelings go away, but nothing seemed to help. Davis feels like she has no control over her life and is not capable of handling the situation. She seeks refuge by going back to New York to be with her mother, where she cries and shares her feelings.


Next, Davis visits a doctor who tells her she looks fine, but when she sees a therapist, the therapist can sense that something is bothering her. Finally, the therapist advises her that the key to happiness is in the way she delivers her message and how she presents herself to the world. This is a moment of realization for Davis that the way in which she conveys herself to others can affect how she feels about herself. The song ends on a positive note with Davis realizing that someone loves her for who she is, and that is a significant source of comfort for her.
