Hey You
Asker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only shadows, can breathe your palm tonight
as you wander away, roaming the streets of Berlin
Will the stories of your life
in a suitcase by your side
now there's hope in your eyes
there's love under your wings
so, hey you, put your little heart on the line
take a little step at a time
through the wonders of life
hey you, there's a long way to go
through the lightest of hays
you are gonna find your way
In the spell of the morning
down the echoes of yesterday
there's a boy and some cheap wine keeping you awake
but when the person doesn't last
the future is running from the past
then you lay on the sofa
just waiting for signs
when you thought it was over
then he turns around and smile
hey you, come a little closer baby
come a little closer now, we still have time
hey you, there's a long way to go
through the lightest of hays
you are gonna find your way
let the golden blue skies
wash the sorrows from your eyes
you've got nothing to lose
you've got nothing to prove
you're nobody's baby
you're nobody's fool
oh, hey you, put your little heart on the line
take a little step a time
through the wonders of life
hey you, there's a long way to go
through the lightest of hays




you,
are gonna find your way
