Ho Hey"

(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I've been trying to do it right

(Hey!) I've been living a lonely life
(Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
(Hey!) I've been sleeping in my bed,
(Ho!) Sleeping in my bed
(Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Ho!) So show me family
(Hey!) All the blood that I would bleed
(Ho!) I don't know where I belong
(Hey!) I don't know where I went wrong
(Ho!) But I can write a song
(Hey!)

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet

(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I don't think you're right for him.
(Hey!) Look at what it might have been if you
(Ho!) took a bus to China Town.
(Hey!) I'd be standing on Canal
(Ho!) and Bowery.
(Hey!)
(Ho!) And she'd be standing next to me.
(Hey!)

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart

Love – we need it now
Let's hope for some
So, we're bleeding out

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet

(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)

(The last one)
(Hey!

Overall Meaning

The song "Ho Hey" by Tyler Ward featuring Alex G is a beautiful and catchy melody that has a poignant message of love and connection. The lyrics portray the loneliness and confusion that the singer is feeling, searching for a family and love. The opening lines set the tone of an honest confession, where the character is admitting to trying to do things right but often feeling lost, leading to loneliness. The chorus that follows declares that the singer belongs to the person they love and that they both need each other, bringing a sense of hope and optimism that things can get better. The final verse provides a sense of urgency and longing as the character yearns for a lover, and if only they took a bus to China Town, they would be together.

This was your newest song when I first met you - and by met you I mean discovered how incredible you are. I am inspired by you and your love for our Creator, and your love for music. I can say easily that the last month and a half of my life has been really good in the big picture of my life, but I know that you and your music is the kind to draw people out from their ruts. Thank you for being there for me, and for everyone else who has had the honor to have "met" you!

@RememberRoxas

11y

I didn't know how I was going to like this song, cause it sounds so different from the original. But you know what. It grew on me and I am starting to love it. The calmness, it gives it a new meaning. A feeling of hope that two people will get together and that they can make it through anything. So, the words are inspiring in both versions, but Tyler you were able to give it a new "perspective" I guess you could say. So, thank you. It has brightened up my day, and gives me hope for the one.

@Buterfli2110
