[Verse 1]
Can you answer me?
No more time for questioning
My car's outside I want to leave
Don't you think I'm interesting
Well, I'm listening

Everything's obvious
The way you put your hand on me
The way you talk so easily
The way your lips are glistening
Well, I'm listening

[Pre-Chorus]
You get around
You want me
You come around
You need me
But this time around
I won't be back at all

[Chorus]
But maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you (pleased to meet you)
And maybe yesterday
Was the day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity
And I'm pleased to meet you
[Verse 2]
Right now I think I'm sane
But I'm really just anxious
To cross that bridge
The subconscious oasis
Where right is right
And wrong is wrong
And you aren't there
To build me up

[Pre-Chorus]
You get around
You want me
You come around
You need me
This time around
I won't be back at all

[Chorus]
Maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you (pleased to meet you)
And maybe yesterday
Was the day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity
And I've seen it all
I've seen it all
Many times before
Maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you
And maybe yesterday
Was the day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity
And I've seen it all
I've seen it all
Many times before

[Outro]
Maybe misery (many times before)
Is what I need to keep my sanity (many times before)
And I don't mean if things don't go my way (many times before)
I'll be pleased to meet you (many times before)
And maybe yesterday (many times before)
Was the day that I could get away (many times before)
Now today I'm stuck in sanity (many times before)
And I've seen it all
I've seen it all
Many times before
