Ho Hey
Thyra 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 my family
All the blood that I would 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
Look at what it might have been if you
Took the bus to Chinatown
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 sweet heart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
I belong with you you belong with me
You′re my sweet heart
You′re my sweet
Love, we need it now
Let's hope for some
And oh, we′re bleeding out
I belong with you you belong with me
You're my sweet
I belong with you you belong with me
You′re my sweet heart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
I belong with you you belong with me
You′re my sweet heart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
I belong with you you belong with me
You're my sweet heart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You′re my sweet
I belong with you you belong with me
You′re my sweet heart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
I belong with you you belong with me
You′re my sweet heart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
The lyrics of Thyra's song "Ho Hey" reflect the singer's feelings of loneliness and uncertainty about her place in the world.

Despite this, she is able to find solace in music, stating that she can "write a song" to express her emotions.
In the chorus, Thyra focuses on the feelings of love and belonging that she experiences with a particular person. She sings that she belongs with them and they belong with her, and that they are her "sweetheart." She seems to be seeking reassurance in this person, hoping to find a sense of stability and comfort in their relationship.
The final lines of the song express a sense of hope for the future, with Thyra singing that "love, we need it now, let's hope for some." The repeated refrain of "I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet" suggests a sense of optimism and commitment to the idea that she has found a place where she truly belongs.
