Hi
True Faith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The park is empty, my beer's already warm
And the shoppers have all gone home
Drunken and weary, I almost thought I forgot
About that someone who hit that spot
Love was a thing you wanted to know
And so with one wish, I did gave a show
Now that you're back with a half-baked smile
Just skip the bull, let's talk for a while
Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with
When you want to be free
It's so funny how you should hurt someone and that someone was me
I'm just a man, not much with plans
But I do believe in what I stand
Love was a thing you wanted to know
And so with one wish, I did gave a show
Now that you're back with a half-baked smile
Just skip the bull, let's talk for a while
Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with
Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with
Love will tear us apart again, and again, and again
Hello, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Just say hello, just say hello
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Just say hello, just say...
Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with
Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me




I know that it's you I'd love to be with
Hello, hoh hoh, hoh hohHello, hoh hoh, hoh hoh hoh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song by True Faith may appear to be simple and straightforward at first glance, but they actually express a complex range of emotions and experiences. The first verse sets the scene for a solitary and somewhat melancholy moment, with the singer sitting alone in an empty park, drinking a warm beer. As the second verse begins, we learn that this moment has been interrupted by the sudden appearance of someone the singer once loved. The reference to "that someone who hit that spot" suggests that this person was once intimately familiar with the singer's desires and preferences.


The chorus of the song then takes on a bit of an ironic tone, as the singer greets this former lover with a cheery "Hello, how have you been?" while inwardly acknowledging that they are not the person the other has been seeing lately. The repetition of this line throughout the song reinforces the sense of a conversation that is both familiar and stilted, as the two parties tiptoe around their unresolved feelings.
