Ho Hey
Hannah Trigwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been living a lonely life
I′ve been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed,
I've been sleeping in my bed
So show me family
All the blood that I will bleedI don′t know where I belong
I don′t know where I went wrong
But I can write a song
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you′re my sweet
I don't think you′re right for him
Think of what it might have been if you
Took a bus to China Town
I'd be standing on Canal
And Bowery
And she′d be standing next to me
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
Love we need it now
Let′s hope for some
Cause oh, we′re bleeding out
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you′re my sweet
The lyrics to Hannah Trigwell's song "Ho Hey" seem to describe the singer's search for a sense of belonging in her life. The first stanza speaks to her feelings of loneliness and isolation, as she admits to sleeping alone in her bed. The following lines express her yearning for a sense of kinship with others, particularly her family, and her willingness to connect with them even if it means shedding some of her own blood. She seems to be saying that while she doesn't know exactly where she fits in, she can express herself through her music.
The chorus, with its repetition of the line "I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart," reinforces this theme of belonging, emphasizing the singer's desire to be a part of something. The romantic overtones of the song further suggest that she believes that finding love is one way to feel more connected to others. In the third stanza, she seems to be speaking to someone else who is in a relationship that isn't working, encouraging them to consider what they might have if they were with her instead. Once again, the theme of belonging is present, as she seeks a chance to connect with someone who she feels would be a better match.
Overall, "Ho Hey" is a song about the human desire to belong and the ways we seek connection with others. Its lyrics suggest that one way we can achieve a sense of belonging is through love, both romantic and familial. By sharing her own experiences of loneliness and longing, the singer invites listeners to empathize with her and perhaps find a sense of commonality in their own struggles.

I’ve been trying to do it right
I have been attempting to live my life in the right way
I’ve been living a lonely life
I have been living a life devoid of companionship
I’ve been sleeping here instead
I have been spending my nights in this place, alone
I've been sleeping in my bed, I've been sleeping in my bed
I spend every night sleeping in my bed, alone
So show me family
Please show me where I belong, my family
All the blood that I will bleed
All the sacrifices I will make for my family
I don't know where I belong
I am unsure of where I fit in
I don't know where I went wrong
I am unsure of what I did wrong
But I can write a song
I can express my emotions through music
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I feel a deep connection with you, and we belong together
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet
I feel that we are meant to be together
I don't think you're right for him
I don't think you are a good match for him
Think of what it might have been if you
Consider what could have been if you had made different choices
Took a bus to China Town
If you had taken a spontaneous trip to China Town
I'd be standing on Canal
I would be waiting for you on Canal street
And Bowery
I would be waiting for you at Bowery street
And she'd be standing next to me
You would be standing next to me instead of him
Love we need it now
We need love more than ever
Let's hope for some
Let's hope for a chance at love
Cause oh, we're bleeding out
We need love to heal our wounds

@pippapi
Not gonna lie, this gurl just saves my night :).
@cgracee
I love how when she sings, you can see that she really means it, that she has passion. A lot of the singers on youtube who do covers don't have that emotion.
@sierraarieljenkins4961
If you find yourself in the US next summer, we would LOVE for you to sing this as our first dance song at our wedding!
You're perfect and this version is perfect!!!

@ZacharyDavidColeman
I've been feeling pretty down lately, not depressed, but that kind of down where you're not motivated, and everything seems meh, but listening to this cover just made me feel... better. On so many levels. I can't explain why, it just did. So thank you.
@ceoadmiral
