“Hey You” lyrics

These are NOT official, I have typed these up myself so please let me know if you see a mistake. Good stuff!!

You’ve changed your tune many times since we met
But I’ll always recognize you, you are part of me
I feel you whether in Jamaica or in the Angel city
You’re such a gift to me, oooh

Hey you
I gotta tell you my longtime friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent
Hey you
You’re my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I’m saying
And we’ve just begun, ahhh

I’ve got one wish for this music, to be an uplift
And I need an uplift to deal
And there are few songs all the people can sing along,
One song!
Come along and sing it for real, oooh

Hey you
I gotta tell you my longtime friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent
Hey you
You’re my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I’m saying
And we’ve just begun, ahhh

As I wander around, town to town
Lost and found
When so many others come and go
The sweetness pulls me through, ahhh

Hey you
I gotta tell you my longtime friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent
Hey you
You’re my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I’m saying
And we’ve just begun

Hey you
You never turned your back on me
When I gave up on myself
Hey you
You never turned your back on me
When I gave up on myself
Hey you
What would the world be like
Without you around
MUSIC!
You’re my constant companion, ahhh

    FUCK YEAH!! I’VE HAD THIS ON REPEAT FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS, WTF! hahhah

    Thanks for the lyrics! Great song. One lyrical mishap though. On the bridge the line you wrote of “as I wander along, town to town” to me sounds very much more like “as I wander AROUND, town to down”. The assonance sounds better that way and I’m pretty sure that is what they say. MAD PROPS TO YOU for getting the lyrics out in the first place!

    Stay Positive!

    Good work Alyssa! Now I have even more to make me excited for another 311 summer!

  7. gdwtchg Says:

    I guess I’m going to have to imagine what the song sounds like….the crappy stations down here haven’t played it yet (I had to work last night). My home ‘puter is still down and all the mp3 links are blocked at my job *sniff*.

    I suppose I can be like Chase, who refuses to listen because he wants to hear it all live for the first time….

  8. BoneCrusher Says:

    Nice work, as usual, on the lyrics. Can’t wait to hear this live!

  9. chippergirl Says:

    Good luck on not listening until you hear it live! That would take amazing restraint, but is a cool idea!

  10. Alyssa Says:

    Thanks Salsa, memorizing these for the shows! See you soon buddy!!

  14. 311LopeR Says:

    heyy alyssa…not 100% sure, but i think instead of “I think of all those years you saw me through tears” it may be “I think of all those years you SUNG me through tears” ….take a listen and see what you think.

    i only thought of this bc the song is about music and maybe the music is making him sing his way through sadness. just what i hear. thanks for the lyrics!

  15. 311LopeR Says:

    on second thought, maybe not bc i checked some other sites and they had the same thing, but for some reason thats what my ears wanna hear haha.
