Hey There
Brave Combo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You with the stars in your eyes
Love's never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise
Hey there
You on that high-flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She's got you dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other?
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other?
Hey there!
Hey there!
Hey there!
In Brave Combo's song "Hey There," the singer is addressing someone who is in love with a woman who is not reciprocating his feelings. The first two stanzas sing about how the subject is someone who used to be "wise" but has now fallen in love, and is currently on cloud nine even though the woman he loves is not giving him any attention. The third stanza suggests the subject forget about her because she is leading him on and doesn't care about him, but the chorus repeats the suggestion that he takes this advice as a brother, and the final stanza questions whether the subject is too in love to hear what the singer is trying to say.
