hey you
Chemical Neon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still in the club not on my way

5 am no I won't wait

I donʼt wanna lose control


Drowning in my own misery

flying high I start to see

little birds in my head



I may stumble

I may fall

I might lose it all

I m not running away

I spread my wings and fly

hey you say my name

listen to what I want to say

hey you remember my name

dance away the pain no ones watching HEY

hey you

love comes first little bird

Iʼll be always with you

hey you hey ouuuuuuu



Without a care in the world, I dance

dancing is my final chance

I like to move my hands

The way I want



the flames rise up inside of me the burning desire

I w.nt to break free

let me out of my cage



I may stumble

I may fall

I might lose it all

I m not running away

I spread my wings and fly

hey you say my name

listen to what I want to say

hey you remember my name

dance away the pain no ones watching HEY

hey you

love comes first little bird

Iʼll be always with you

hey you hey ouuuuuuu



hey you say my name

listen to what I want to say

hey you remember my name

dance away the pain no ones watching HEY

hey you

love comes first little bird

Iʼll be always with you





hey you, I spread my wings and fly
