MisterWives - Whywhywhy Lyrics






I turn up my speakers
So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker
Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter
So I can numb this heart that's full of splinters
They say time heals
All wounds but these clocks are at a standstill
And I'm counting every second that you're not here
But only in my dreams do you appear

Am I allowed to lay down my smile,
And be bitter just for a while?

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why?

I close all the windows
Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows
All I see is you when the day glows
Reminding me that you are just a shadow
When I wake
For a split second in time my heart does not ache
Thinking you'll be next to me then I shake
To see an empty bed and all over I break

Am I allowed to lay down my smile,
And be bitter just for a while?

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why?

I shoulda known when you were grinding your teeth (I shoulda known)
That you were hiding your feelings from me (Oh-oh-oh)
I shoulda known when you were tossing in your sleep (I shoulda known) (Oh-oh-oh)
That you were hiding your feelings from me

Don't pull me under, we were meant to stay afloat
I see the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
Don't go, keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why, why, why?
Why, oh, why, why, why?

    Generic sounding pop is not anywhere as good as the unique folk-ish sound that Mandy Lee started with. Sucks that MisterWives has been reduced to this.

  36. R.... ....

    She reminds me of Reese Witherspoon for some reason .

  37. D.... D....

    Proud to say I seen them and saint motel open up for Panic at the Disco’s Death Of A Bachelor concert!

    [Verse 1]
    I turn up my speakers
    So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker
    Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter
    So I can numb this heart that’s full of splinters

    [Verse 2]
    They say time heals
    All wounds but these clocks are at a standstill
    And I’m counting every second that you’re not here
    But only in my dreams do you appear

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Am I allowed to lay down my smile
    And be bitter just for a while?

    [Chorus]
    Don’t keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
    I see all the embers, they’ve not yet lost all their glow
    Could you try to take a look into my eyes
    And tell me why oh why why why?
    Why oh why why why?
    Why oh why?

    [Verse 3]
    I close all the windows
    Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows
    All I see is you when the day glows
    Reminding me that you are just a shadow

    [Verse 4]
    When I wake
    For a split second in time, my heart does not ache
    Thinking you’ll be next to me, then I shake
    To see an empty bed and all over I brake

    [Chorus]
    Don’t keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
    I see all the embers, they’ve not yet lost all their glow
    Could you try to take a look into my eyes
    And tell me why oh why why why?

    I should have known when you were grinding your teeth
    (I should have known)
    That you were hiding your feelings from me, oh
    I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep
    (I should have known)
    That you were hiding your feelings from me

    [Chorus]
    Don’t keep pulling me under we were meant to stay afloat
    I see the embers they’ve not yet lost all their glow
    Could you try to take a look into my eyes
    And tell me why oh why why why?

    [Chorus]
    Don’t keep pulling me under we were meant to stay afloat
    I see all the embers they’ve not yet lost all their glow
    Could you try to take a look into my eyes

    Why oh why why why?
    Why oh why why why?
    Why oh why why why?
    Why oh why why why?

  70. B.... T....

    such an upbeat song about heart break

  71. �.... �....

    Pinche Shakira gringa
    She's sing really good
    Sorry for my English

  72. R.... ....

    i would not be surprised to see jack antonoff as a writing credit on this

    R.... ....

    Mandy wrote this.

    R.... ....

    @martha wahnon i'm not saying she didn't. more often then not there are a number of people who are credited as writing for each song as different people contribute different ideas to the song to alter the sound of the song to what the collective group believe it should be. I am merely observing that there are a few key sound elements in this song that are staples of Jack Antonoff's work both with Bleachers as well as with other songwriting credits he has for songs he's written and produced with other artists.

  73. A.... D....

    And they're back 😍💯💕

  74. T.... O....

    Her voice is crying, but the melody is happy... Interesting stuff for me. I like it.

  75. E.... A....

    WHY OH WHY WHY WHY IS THIS SO GOOD!!!

  76. s.... m....

    Sooooo goooood, got chills watching this

  77. Y.... E....

    That guitar player is HOT stuff

  78. f.... P....

    En cerio salio una escena donde sales en un bosque hace un año cuando te conocí (tu musica ) tuve un sueño en el que caminaba contigo caminando en un bosque mágico y hasta ese entonces es el mejor sueño que e tenido y ver que era una premonición de tu nuevo álbum oh dios resulta tan increíble que no me lo puedo creer en defitiva eres todo my everyting te amo misterwives (mandy) whywhywhy

  79. D.... D....

    I love misterwives

  80. L.... C....

    You are the best! <3

  81. S.... H....

    0:45 i sneezed right when the chorus first hit, and it felt better than i can describe.

  82. S.... H....

    yonaka, the hype mv, and now this?! what a great week!

  83. s.... h....

    Glad they're back! Love the new sound!

  84. N.... K....

    Nice song and nice music video

  85. E.... C....

    this is incredible

  86. E.... P....

    Welcome back!

  87. A.... M....

    Not only is this song insanely amazing, but Misterwives is one of the last few BANDS that actually exist...keep it up guys!!!  Keep playing real music!!!

  88. N.... M....

    IM SO EXCITED! Driving all the way to LA from Oregon just see you all again❤❤❤

  89. c.... g....

    THEY'RE BACK AGAIN

  90. H.... ....

    I'm in love with Mandy new haircut and dye! she looks so fine, oh also love the song as well

  91. M.... A....

    Who was the video director?

  92. L.... A....

    First of all, this song is a bop !!!!!!!! I don't think Misterwives is capable of making a song that doesn't slap ✨ It still sounds like Misterwives, their style is still recognizable for older fans, but also sounds sharper, more focused, ready to take the audience by storm like the hurricane from one of my favorite songs of them 😍
    Second, I'm so glad, because now with the new label maybe more people are gonna get to know and fall in love with this band as much as me when I listened to them for the first time around 2014, 2015...😍
    Also, I may or may not be dreaming with a Paramore collab now that both bands are labelmates lol

  93. p.... b....

    IM SCREEEAAAAMIIIINNGGGGGG💞

  94. R.... A....

    You're voice reminds me of the vocalist of Cranberies band.

  95. N.... M....

    THIS IS LITERALLY ALL I NEEDED 😍😍

  96. A.... O....

    I literally enjoyed every second.

  97. S.... ....

    THIS ROCKS!

  98. E.... F....

    doesn't she sound a lot like shakira?

  99. A.... ....

    Shot in Philadelphia?! YES!!!
