I’ve had Hey There Delilah by The Plain White T’s on a loop all afternoon while I’ve been writing. It’s such an easy song to have on in the background, and how can you not love these lyrics?!
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 we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame
Yeah, apparently I have become a total sap.
Can’t say I know it Beth. You might have to do a rendition for me the next time I see you!
Oh definitely Alan. Saturday seranading here (hear?) we come! But watch out, because just saying “Delilah” then makes me burst into “My my my Delilah, Why why why Delilah” and that is an experience in and of itself.
i am a total lyricist, and those lyrics are good, but i would never, ever put a song on loop all afternoon!
