Lyrics
[Intro — fingerpicked guitar, brushes ease in] [Verse 1] I've been doing just fine on my own, or so the story goes Got real used to my own bad company, the devil that I know Never met a silver lining I couldn't talk out of the sky Then you walked in grinning and you ruined my whole alibi [Pre-Chorus — pedal steel swells] Now I catch myself just grinning for no reason at the sink Singing something stupid-happy 'fore I even stop to think There's a nervous part of me still waiting on the other shoe But she's tired of being right — she'd rather be here, next to you [Chorus — harmonies stack, tambourine in] If misery loves company Why the hell does it feel so funny When I'm with you, ohh When I'm with you If misery loves company Why the hell does it feel so funny When I'm with you, ohh When I'm with you [Verse 2] My mama raised a worrier, keep an eye on the sky Find the only cloud for miles and bet on it to cry But you make a Wednesday feel like Sunday morning, sleeping in And I don't know who I'm gonna be if I let the good stuff win [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm laughing at your jokes that, honestly, are kinda bad And missing you on Mondays is the happiest I've been sad I keep bracing for the bottom that I'm sure is up ahead But I'm running out of reasons to be sad instead [Chorus] If misery loves company Why the hell does it feel so funny When I'm with you, ohh When I'm with you If misery loves company Why the hell does it feel so funny When I'm with you, ohh When I'm with you [Bridge — drop to guitar and voice, soft Rhodes underneath] Maybe I was never broken, maybe just a little scared Of a good thing that don't leave, of a love that's really there I spent so long in the dark, you were the light I couldn't see Turns out the only company that misery wants is me [Instrumental Break — pedal steel solo over full band, builds back up] [Final Chorus — fullest, double-tracked] If misery loves company Why the hell does it feel so funny When I'm with you, ohh When I'm with you If misery loves company Why the hell does it feel so funny When I'm with you, ohh When I'm with you [Outro — band pulls back to guitar] The only company that misery wants is me But I'd rather, I'd rather be with you Ohh, when I'm with you
