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. 

You get around 
You want me 
You come around 
You need me 
This time around 
I won't be back at all 

Maybe misery I 
s 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 a day that I could get away 
Now today I'm stuck in sanity 
And I'm pleased to meet you 

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 weren't there 
To build me up 

You get around 
You want me 
You come around 
You need me 
This time around 
I won't be back at all 

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 a 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 a 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 (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 a 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
