[Lyric] Misery (The Simple Carnival)

[Verse 1]
On a boardwalk at 6 A.M
Somewhere off the Jersey Shore
Two runners smile half-a-dozen times
He says
"I don't think we've met before"
"Are you here on a business trip?"
"No, I'm at my fiancé's"
Then about one minute after that, the two of them went separate ways

[Chorus]
Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

[Verse 2]
He doesn't know why there was a spark, when they barely said a thing
At the restaurant, she refused to eat
And stared all evening at her ring
He took himself out for an early jog
Hoping to find her out somewhere

She didn't sleep, she went running late
And neither found the other there

[Chorus]
Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

Misery, misery
Misery, misery
When you blew up all your chances
Screwed up your romances
Everything's a big tragedy

[Verse 3]
Throughout the night she had to ask herself
"What if he could be the one?"
So tomorrow, right before her flight
She tried to catch a mid-wind run
He, so sure it wasn't meant to be
Chased the dreams from his head
So when she happened to go running passed his house
He was fast asleep in bed

[Chorus]
Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity

Misery, misery
Misery, misery
Over one missed opportunity
