Hey Hey
Parker House and Theory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you
I hope you know what I been goin' through baby
I wonder if you're goin' through it 2
But I'm afraid 2 face what might be true, hey u...
I remember the day
It hit me that i really loved you're way
I thought 4 sure I'd be here 2 stay baby
2 my surprise I'd soon be running away, running away

[Chorus:]
If I ever see you walkin'
I won't know what 2 say
Or do
So what's the use in talkin'
All that's left 2 say is hey you,
Hey u...
Those times
Were some of the happiest in life
Count the years since I left you behind
Oh stayed with me like Georgia on my mind
Never left my mind
These eyes
Have searched the land from moonfall 'til sunrise
Searchin' 4 just 1 good reason why
Why'd you have 2 go and do me so wrong, yet do me
so right

[Chorus]
Whether it's right or wrong
you share a life
With the one you loved before you met me
If i cud stop holding on
And wondering why you are gone
The I wud be free
I wud be free





[Chorus (to fade)]
