Hello
Hedley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is anybody listening now
Does anybody miss me now
What can I do
To get through to you

Cutting through the static and noise
I really wanna hear your voice
Need you tonight
I hate how we fight

Thinking of the last time I saw you smiling
Get it off my chest I know it's been a while
And I could use a little facetime
The face to face kind

We never break through
You're afraid of falling
I'm afraid too
It's murder in the morning
I don't want to be alone

So just pick up the phone
And say hello (hello)
It's okay (it's okay)
You know (you know)
What they say (what they say)
If bad things happen on good TV
They could make a movie out of you and me
Don't be sad don't let go
Don't say goodbye
Just say hello (hello)
It's okay (it's okay)
I don't care (I don't care)
What they say (what they say)
It gets better don't ever lose hope
Never giving up
Not the end of the show
I'm not scared
Don't let go
Don't say goodbye
Just say hello

And this is how we stay alive
Do or die we gotta survive
Never too late
Whatever it takes
If love is just a battlefield
Then what we have's gotta be real
Day after day
It's all I can say

Thinking of the last time I saw you smiling
Get it off my chest I know it's been a while
And I could use a little facetime
The face to face kind

We never break through
You're afraid of falling
I'm afraid too
It's murder in the morning
I don't want to be alone

So just pick up the phone
And say hello (hello)
It's okay (it's okay)
You know (you know)
What they say (what they say)
If bad things happen on good TV
They could make a movie out of you and me
Don't be sad
Don't let go
Don't say goodbye
Just say hello (hello)
It's okay (it's okay)
I don't care (I don't care)
What they say (what they say)
It gets better don't ever lose hope
Never giving up
Not the end of the show
I'm not scared
Don't let go
Don't say goodbye
Just say hello

No I don't wanna be
No you don't wanna be
Nobody wants to be alone

So just pick up the phone
And say hello (hello)
It's okay (it's okay)
You know (you know)
What they say (what they say)
If bad things happen on good TV
They could make a movie out of you and me
Don't be sad don't let go
Don't say goodbye
Just say hello (hello)
It's okay (it's okay)
I don't care (I don't care)
What they say (what they say)
It gets better don't ever lose hope
Never giving up
Not the end of the show
I'm not scared
Don't let go
Don't say goodbye
Just say hello

I don't wanna be
No you don't wanna be
Nobody wants to be alone (don't say goodbye, just say hello)

I don't wanna be
No you don't wanna be




Nobody wants to be alone (don't say goodbye)
Just say hello
