Hey Girl
Stephen Sanchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna love you, I wanna love you
Hey, girl, I'm tryin' to figure you out
I wanna know you, I wanna know you
Held her as close as the dress
Pressed against my chest
I was seeing stars
Tryin to catch my breath
Where the feelings are
Ooh, la-da-da-da-da
Ooh, heaven's above
Hey, girl, with your head in the clouds?
I wanna love you, I wanna love you
Hey, girl, I'm tryin' to figure you out
I wanna know you, I wanna know you
Oh, good God I'm tongue tied
I'm a landslide when you move
Hey, girl, with your head in the clouds
I wanna love you, I wanna love you
Wrapped up in her again
I was starting to spin
A record I can't pause
An all time heroin
With an angel's skin
And a human's flaws
Ooh, la-da-da-da-da
Ooh, heaven's above
Hey, girl, with your head in the clouds?
I wanna love you, I wanna love you
Hey, girl, I'm tryin' to figure you out
I wanna know you, I wanna know you
Oh, good God I'm tongue tied
I'm a landslide when you move
Hey, girl, with your head in the clouds
I wanna love you, I wanna love you
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, heaven's above
Hey, girl, with your head in the clouds
I wanna love you, I wanna love you

@slingeroftruth
Or find out what real love will feel like, if you're so lucky or blessed to find it. It will never end, but only get stronger, the longer you're with them or even if the world takes them away from you, too soon. This memory never dies or ever fades away, even a little.
This song is a beautiful way to remind you of how it changed you, and captures the emotion you felt, when it all started and how that memory of the moment, never stopped growing stronger with time. Real love is the only thing strong enough to last forever in this universe, confirming how much it still grows within your soul, for the one bond that can never break because it's like you both became one and the same, that nothing can ever separate, not even death.
