Remember how you used to, umm
You used to phone up and you wouldn't say your name
You'd just say, uh, "Hey you" You know, I see you on my blank sheet
Before I write or form or record this situation, yo
My memories choke me and stain my pillow
As my voice becomes hollow As I trace tear lines around this space that won't fill, yo
I feel nothing but this way and the emptiness stays
And it's cluttered with a silence that teases me
It leads me on like it's gonna say, like it's gonna say Hey you, sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back one day You know yesterday I, I stood outside in the rain
In an attempt to dissolve away or just disappear or be gone
Be back or be just, I try to see the point but I only see the pain
You know, my dreams cry when they're slain
I regain consciousness to blurry vision
I try to listen out for whispers of Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back one day Rain drops disguise my tears have gone
And I want you to be here with me, to stand by me
Said I can't help but to be selfish, baby
'Cause I don't wanna be alone Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back one day Did I leave you behind or did you let me go?
All I know is you're not here to say to me those special words
Time was once on our side but now it's against us
It parts us, all I want to hear you say is Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come home one day Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come home, I'll try to come home, said that
Hey you, I'm sorry, I said one day, I said one day
Said one day, one day, one day
