Harvey
Hers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some people think I'm acting worse for wear
Suffice to say this is a quaint affair
But no one really knows me like Harvey
And once you've met him I'm sure you'll agree
PRE CHORUS
Yeah I get it, you wanna know
Yeah I get it, you wanna see
What it is, him and me
CHORUS
Harvey nobody knows what I see
Nobody knows I'm waiting
Waiting for you to call
Harvey nobody knows what I see
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
Crazy for you oh boy
VERSE 2
Barked at the moon amid an empty street
We felt the remnants of the evening heat
Said Harvey let me be the one to say
I wouldn't dream this any other way
PRE CHORUS
Yeah I get it
You wanna know
Who he is, where we go
Yeah I get it, you wanna see
What it is, him and me
CHORUS
Harvey nobody knows what I see
Nobody knows I'm waiting
Waiting for you to call
Harvey nobody knows what I see
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
Crazy for you oh boy
The song "Harvey" by Hers captures the singer's deep connection with someone named Harvey, who seems to be an embodiment of their true self, their alter ego. The lyrics suggest that some people may perceive the singer as troubled or worn out, but they dismiss this judgment as a mere curiosity. Only Harvey truly knows them, and the singer believes that once people meet Harvey, they will understand and agree with their perspective.
The pre-chorus reveals the listener's desire to know more about Harvey and the nature of their relationship. The singer acknowledges this curiosity and implies that they have a unique bond with Harvey, one that others may find intriguing. They want people to see and understand what it is like to be in Harvey's world and experience the connection they share.
In the chorus, the singer expresses the frustration of feeling misunderstood. Nobody truly knows or sees what they see in Harvey. While waiting for Harvey to reach out, the singer feels a sense of longing and anticipation, but others perceive it as them being crazy for someone who is perhaps unseen or misunderstood by society.
The second verse adds more depth to their relationship, hinting at a moment of shared vulnerability. The singer describes a scene where, together with Harvey, they howl at the moon in an empty street, feeling the lingering warmth of the evening. It seems Harvey is the one who understands the singer's desire to express themselves freely, and they appreciate Harvey's presence and support.
Overall, "Harvey" by Hers is a song about the deep connection and understanding between the singer and their alter ego, Harvey. It explores the frustration of being misunderstood by others and the longing for someone to truly see and understand them.
