Drummer Boy
MisterWives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you got me stressing about every single breath
When life is too good to be true
Makes you skeptical of what you're about to lose
See now heaven, has got nothing on us
Oh, I love you even when my body turns to dust
My heart, slowly beats for you
Drummer boy, you made me feel every single hue
You saved, my soul
Turned a broken girl, into whole
And I thank, the day
That led you, my way
Taking me higher than the clouds go
Looking down at the world far down below
No matter how far our feet may roam
Next to you, is where I call home
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do? What did I do?
To deserve you
Watched men throughout all my years
Cause nothing but abuse and flooding tears
So I stay far, on my own island
Never dare to let anybody in
Then you came and turned my world around
For the first time, I was writing happy sounds
You are brighter than you'll ever know
Make the sun appear to have a much duller glow
You saved, my soul
Turned a broken girl, into whole
And I thank, the day
That led you, my way
Taking me higher than the clouds go
Looking down at the world far down below
No matter how far our feet may roam
Next to you, is where I call home
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do? What did I do?
To deserve you
Never want to wake up next to anybody else
Never in my life did I want to hear the wedding bells
You make me believe in something I claimed untrue
Set my fears on fire, like a phoenix I am new
With you, I am new every scar fades away, less existent with each day they fade away
Taking me higher than the clouds go
Looking down at the world far down below
No matter how far our feet may roam
Next to you, is where I call home
What did I do? Hey!
To deserve you
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do?
To deserve you
What did I do? What did I do?
To deserve you
The lyrics of MisterWives' "Drummer Boy" speak of the transformative power of love. The singer starts the song by saying that they were never afraid of death before but now they are worried about every breath they take because they don't want to lose the person they love. The song goes on to describe how much they love this person and how they have turned their world around. The singer finally asks what they did to deserve this love, saying that they never want to wake up next to anyone else and that they feel like they have been reborn with this person in their life.
The song is about the power of love to transform us and make us feel like we are truly alive. It is about finding that one person who can make us feel whole and loved, even in the darkest of times. The singer speaks of being broken before, but their love has fixed them and made them into a better person.
The "drummer boy" mentioned in the chorus is likely a metaphor for the person the singer loves. They have made the singer feel every single hue and have saved their soul. The singer is grateful for the day that led them to this person, and they know that no matter where they go, they will always call being near this person home.
Line by Line Meaning
Never, was afraid of death
I was never scared of dying
Now you got me stressing about every single breath
But with you around, every moment feels precious and I don't want to waste it
When life is too good to be true
Sometimes things are so wonderful that it seems like they can't possibly last
Makes you skeptical of what you're about to lose
This can make you worry and doubt that something so great can be real and lasting
See now heaven, has got nothing on us
But being with you is even better than anything I could dream up in heaven
Oh, I love you even when my body turns to dust
I will always love you, no matter what happens to me physically
My heart, slowly beats for you
You are the one who makes my heart beat and gives me life
Drummer boy, you made me feel every single hue
You bring so much color and vibrancy to my life
You saved, my soul
You rescued me from darkness and despair
Turned a broken girl, into whole
You made me whole again and gave me a sense of purpose
And I thank, the day
I am endlessly grateful for the day when I met you
That led you, my way
It was fate that brought you into my life
Taking me higher than the clouds go
When I'm with you, I feel like I'm flying higher than the clouds
Looking down at the world far down below
I feel like I'm above all the troubles and pain of the world
No matter how far our feet may roam
Even if we travel far and wide, I will always feel at home with you
Next to you, is where I call home
Being with you is where I belong
What did I do?
I don't understand how I got so lucky
To deserve you
To have someone as amazing as you in my life
Watched men throughout all my years
I've seen how men can hurt and mistreat others over the course of my life
Cause nothing but abuse and flooding tears
They often cause pain and suffering, leading to tears and heartache
So I stay far, on my own island
Because of this, I've kept my distance and stayed isolated from others
Never dare to let anybody in
I've been too afraid to open up and let anyone get close to me
Then you came and turned my world around
But you changed everything when you entered my life
For the first time, I was writing happy sounds
You brought joy and happiness into my life, and I felt like I could express that through music
You are brighter than you'll ever know
You are amazing and wonderful beyond what you can even imagine
Make the sun appear to have a much duller glow
You shine so bright that even the sun seems less impressive in comparison
Never want to wake up next to anybody else
I never want to be without you and wake up next to anyone else
Never in my life did I want to hear the wedding bells
But now, I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you and marry you
You make me believe in something I claimed untrue
You have shown me that love and happiness really are possible, even when I thought they weren't
Set my fears on fire, like a phoenix I am new
You have helped me overcome my fears and become a new person, rising from the ashes just like a phoenix
With you, I am new every scar fades away, less existent with each day they fade away
Being with you has healed me and made me feel whole again, and even my emotional scars are starting to fade with time
What did I do? Hey!
I still can't believe how lucky I am to have you

Why are Misterwives not extremely popular? This is amazing. A-ma-zing

Jake Chandler
THEY ARE POPULAR. They're on a major label, they're touring with huge bands, and they have multiple music videos with millions of views.
boopy boop
Jake Chandler who hurt u
roikhotul jannah
but im glad they arent that popular lol bc it'd be so much expensive if they're popular like the others, I'd be easier to see their concert lol😂
HannahSchmitty
When you realize that the reason the song is called Drummer Boy is because the lead singer and the drummer are engaged and the song becomes 100x more adorable you have to take a breather half way through in order to keep it together or else you might start crying at 1am... <3
