Hey There Delilah

Plain White T's Hey There Delilah Lyrics
1.Hey There Delilah

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delila
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh It's what you do to me!
Oh it's what you do to me!
Oh it's what you do to me!
Oh it's what you do to me!
Oh it's what you do to me!
What you do to me.


2.Easy Way Out

Some people look at themselves with such doubts
Some people just take the easy way out
But i don't want to

Some people don't care what's wrong or right
Some people just wanna walk through life
Some people just try to follow the crowd
But i don't want to

They'll never know what life is about
So don't be like don't be like them
Don't take the easy way out
Don't take the easy way out
Oh no don't take the easy way

Some people look at the world with such doubts
(don't take the easy way)
Some people just take the easy way out
But i don't want to

Some people don't try to be themselves
Some people wanna be somebody else
Some people don't mind keepin' their voice down
But i don't want to

They'll never know what life is about
So don't be like don't be like them
Don't take the easy way out
Don't take the easy way out
Oh no don't take the easy way out

Don't take the easy way out
Oh no don't take the easy way

If you've got a point to make make it
If you've got something to say say it
It's your life so whatever you do
Don't fake it don't fake it no

They'll never know what life is about
So don't be like don't be like them
No don't be like them

They'll wait till someone figures it out
So don't be like don't be like them
Don't take the easy way out
Don't take the easy way out
Oh no don't take the easy way out

Don't take the easy way out
Oh no don't take the easy way out
Don't take the easy way out
Oh no don't take the easy way out
Don't take the easy way out
Oh no don't take the easy way


3.Down The Road

Lost myself again didn't care i was missing
Said goodbye to friends and drove away
I just don't belong in a town where no one listens
Even if i'm wrong i'll find a way

Gotta get away from here
Find a way to disappear
Say goodbye to everything and everyone i know

Gotta go and leave this town
All it does is bring me down
I just wanna tell my friends no matter where i go
I'll see 'em down the road

Lost myself again no one knew i was missing
Said goodbye to dad and his new wife
Stuck around this long now i'm sick and tired of wishing
Even if i'm wrong i'll still be right

Gotta get away from here
Find a way to disappear
Say goodbye to everything and everyone i know

Gotta go and leave this town
All it does is bring me down
I just wanna tell my friends no matter where i go
I'll see 'em down the road

I'm sick of dreaming
I would rather stay up all night
Live my own life
Don't worry about me yeah

Gotta get away from here
Find a way to disappear
Say goodbye to everything and everyone i know

Gotta go and leave this town
All it does is bring me down
I just wanna tell my friends no matter where i go
I'll see 'em down the road

I'll see 'em down the road
I'll see 'em down the road
(lost myself again didn't know that i was missing)
I'll see 'em down the road
(said goodbye to friends)


4.Losing Myself

Stuck in a moment at ten past nine
Don't know if she's showing
I wish she would tell me what was on her mind
I can't stand not knowing

Why am i here?

She used to say i was the love of her life
Lately she ain't showing
I used to say 'she's gonna make a good wife'
Where is this thing going?

Why am i here? why am i here?

(every word)
Every word i write i can't help losing myself
(with every kiss)
Every kiss goodnight i can't help losing myself
I can't help losing myself in you

Stuck in a moment that was 10:09
No way she is showing
These games that she plays
Aren't even worth my time
Where is this thing going?

Why am i here?
Why am i here?

(with every word)
Every word i write i can't help losing myself
(with every kiss)
Every kiss goodnight i can't help losing myself in you

Well you don't wanna let me go
But you can't have it both ways no
What can i do?

'cause i can't help falling
And i can't stop calling you
What can i do?

(with every word)
Every word i write i can't help losing myself
(with every kiss)
Every kiss goodnight i can't help losing myself

(every time)
Every time we fight i can't do anything right
(when we say)
When we say goodbye i can't help losing myself
I can't help losing myself in you


5.If I Told You

If i told you i love you
Would it move you enough
To even act as though you've heard?

If i said i was leaving
Would you still find a reason
To ignore my every word?

'cause i'm the one who waits here for you
I'm the one who'll always adore you
I'm the one who's dying for your cause

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?

If i told you to meet me
In the city this evening
Would you even think to come?

Everyone would be hearing
My intentions of prolonging
You're easy when you're numb

'cause i'm the one who waits here for you
I'm the one who'll always adore you
I'm the one who sees right through it all

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?

If i told you would you care?
If i told you would you still never be there?

If i told you would you care?
(do you care at all?)
If i told you would you still never be there?

If i told you i need you
Would you still not agree
To even offer me your hand?

If i said i was dying
Would you keep on denying
My attempts to be your man?

'cause i'm the one who waits here for you
I'm the one who'll always adore you
I'm the one who'll catch you when you fall

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?


6.Hey There Delilah(Live)

Hey there delilah what's it like in new york city
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty yes you do
Times square can't shine as bright as you i swear it's true

Hey there delilah don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely give this song another listen
Close your eyes listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

Hey there delilah i know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl someday i'll pay the bills with this
guitar
We'll have it good we'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there delilah i've got so much left to say
If every simple song i wrote to you
Would take your breath away i'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall we'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if i had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way

Delilah i can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Two more years and you'll be done with school
And i'll be making history like i do

You'll know it's all because of you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
