"Hey"

Won't somebody come along

And teach me how to keep it alive?

To survive

Come along and show me something

That I never knew in your eyes

Take away the tourniquet

I used to be so full of my confidence

I used to know just what I wanted

And just where to go

More than ever I could use a coincidence

But now I walk alone and talk about it when I know

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess I ought to walk away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?

I don't wanna have to, but I will

If that's what I'm supposed to do

We don't wanna set up for the kill

But that's what I'm about to do

Let it on, I'll cut you off

When you're screaming into the phone

Hard to own

Anyway, I wanna let you know

That everything is on hold

What you gonna do to me?

You used to be so warm and affectionate

All the little things I used to hear my fairy say

But now you're quick to get into your regret

I'll take the fall and now you got to give it all away

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess I ought to walk away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?

I don't wanna have to, but I will

If that's what I'm supposed to do

We don't wanna set up for the kill

But that's what I'm about to do

I don't wanna have to, but I will

If that's what I'm supposed to do

We don't wanna set up for the kill

But that's what I'm about to do

Hey, what would you say if I stayed?

Stayed for a while, if I may

Say it again and I'll come around

But not for the last time

Hey, what would you say if I changed?

I'll change everything but my name

Play it again and I'll come around

Come around, but not for the last time, not for the last time

You used to be so warm and affectionate

I used to know just what I wanted

And just where to go

And now you're quick to get into your regret

And now I walk alone and talk about it when I know

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess you gotta walk away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess you gotta get away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?
