Best Friend
Miserable Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

await the day
when we will embrace
I can't wait to see that look on your face
I swear I hear you laughing from afar
I see you in every single
passing car

and I miss us
when you twirl me around
always touching
any excuse

cool summer nights
back when we
fell so fast

you were my best friend
now life feels so hard
your presence ever knocking at my door
don't you get it?
it's hard to ignore

and I miss us
when you twirl me around
always touching
any excuse

await the day




when we will embrace
I can't wait to see that look on your face

This one is easier to listen to, not too much sound going on at once and I like the lyrics

@manuelabuitragorivera3953

You’ve disappeared, like everything else. Who else can I talk to, I’m lost. When you left, you took everything with you. And the absence is everywhere I look. It’s like a huge whole has been punched through my chest. But in a way I’m glad… the pain is my only reminder that it was real…

@SKINRIPS

stupid question, what genre of music would this be?

@thenativesoundtube

I would say dark folk... but it's all relative.

@SKINRIPS

+The Native Sound true. i found this band while listening to MTHR-Howl. you should check them out if you havent already. they're local where im from, North carolina.

@thenativesoundtube
