Hailey
Anson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all this screaming and this fighting's not gonna solve anything
And I swear I'm sorry, but you don't give a damn, no you don't give a damn
You hold your hands to your face, I can't believe we got this way
Cause yesterday was perfect and you know I love you, but I guess the season's changed
And I'm searching through my mind to find the right words to say, to make you want to stay
It hurts to know that you were right and I was wrong
Cause I'd kill for you, be whoever you want me to be
I'd bend the truth to keep you here right next to me
Hailey baby, I swear that we can make it it's true
Hailey baby, how do I get back to you?
You start your car and drive away, I stare at the floor as you escape
Now the world looks dimmer and I'm feeling sicker with every mile that you take
And I'm scared to find out that you're forever on a holiday and nothing will be the same
You're halfway through the door
It hurts to know that you were right and I was wrong
Cause I'd kill for you, be whoever you want me to be
I'd bend the truth to keep you here right next to me
Hailey baby, I swear that we can make it it's true
Hailey baby, how do I get back to you?
No I'm not proud, I'm screaming outloud we can be stronger we can make it through
You'll come around, and I'll show you how my heart is longing for you
The song "Hailey" by Anson is an emotional piece about the aftermath of a fight between two lovers.

The singer reminisces about how perfect things were in the past, but now the "season's changed," and they are struggling to stay together. As the other person walks out the door, the singer expresses his feelings of regret and longing, admitting that he would do anything to get their relationship back on track.
The song is relatable to anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of a romantic relationship. It portrays the intense emotions that come with fighting with someone you love and the desire to make things right.
