Hello
Deegan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello 
I think I’m running from the truth 
Hello 
I always look for something new 
Head up in the sky’s and now I see 
Always so surprised what’s underneath 
Had to pick and pry at what I need 
But every time I try I dig too deep 
Is it up to me 
Or is it up to you 
I hate to overthink it but I guess it’s what I do 
I try to compromise 
I try to live my truth 
I try to stay in line but I end up on the loose 
Guess it happens for a reason that’s the way it be 
I was steady cheesing the joke was on me 
Problems never leaving 
I was on repeat 
The water feeds the tree yet I drowned my seed 
Always lost in my bullshit 
Find a problem and ghost it 
I’m the number one culprit
For losing all of my focus 
'Bout time that I cleaned up 
Bad habits gotta leave ya 
But sometimes is always sometime and sometimes always tease ya
Got no time to waste 
Yet I do it every day 
And before I get to work I think I need to meditate
G-g-g-got no time to waste 
Yet I do it every day 
And before I get to work I need to reevaluate
And say
Hello 
I think I’m running from the truth 
Hello 
I always look for something new 
Head up in the sky’s and now I see 
Always so surprised what’s underneath 
Had to pick and pry at what I need 
But every time I try I dig too deep 
You only get it if you go for it
Only get it if you go for it
You only get it if you go for it
Only get it if you go for it
I believe that
You only get it if you go for it
Only get it if you go for it
You only get it if you go for it
Only get it if you go for it
I believe that
Hello 
I think I’m running from the truth 
Hello 
I always look for something new 
Head up in the sky’s and now I see 
Always so surprised what’s underneath 




Had to pick and pry at what I need 
But every time I try I dig too deep
