Discover the story of the song > Wooly Muffler – Harvey Danger

The protagonist in the song wants to be a warm and cozy woolly muffler around his partner's neck, but she is pulling too tight and he feels like he's being choked. He had hoped for a casual relationship with her, but she wants something more serious, like holding hands on the bus. He feels like he wants to run away and start over somewhere else, but he's also happy in the moment. The song suggests that sometimes it's better to keep your own potential to yourself, especially when others can disappoint you.
