Hey World, Hey Girl
Discovering Life's Surprises Through Struggles
Lyrics
I’ve been through so many close calls
I've experienced numerous situations where disaster was narrowly avoided.
It doesn’t matter who wins
The outcome of various situations doesn't matter.
And I’ve seen so many big falls
I've witnessed significant failures.
I know it’s something within
I understand there's an internal factor contributing to these experiences.
And I know it’s hard to imagine
It's challenging to conceive, and even more challenging to exist in such a reality.
And harder to be
Life is destined to expand in ways that time has subdued.
But this life is bound to expand in
The expansion of life might be difficult to comprehend.
Ways time has quieted thee
Life's expansion is restrained by the passage of time.
Hey world won’t you be surprised
Addressing the world, expressing anticipation for surprise.
Hey world won’t you be surprised
Reiterating the expectation for the world to be surprised.
I hate the feeling it’s too late to try
Expressing regret for the feeling that it's too late to attempt something.
Sometimes I wish I could cry
Expressing a desire to cry, suggesting emotional difficulty.
But sometimes I can’t bring myself
There are times when emotional expression is challenging.
I feel the wind is changing
Sensing a change in the metaphorical wind, signifying a shift in circumstances.
And blowing for us
Believing that a positive change is coming despite the difficulty in accepting it.
Even though it’s hard to take it all
Acknowledging the challenge of accepting everything that happens.
When it seems it all just happens because
Suggesting that events happen seemingly without reason.
And it gets the worst when I see
Expressing difficulty in understanding what holds someone back internally.
What deep inside holds you back
Questioning if bitterness and pride will be the only things left in the end.
Will bitterness and pride be
Contemplating if negative emotions will be the legacy.
All we lay down with at last
Wondering if bitterness and pride will be the ultimate companions in life.
Hey girl won’t you be surprised
Addressing a girl, expressing anticipation for surprise.
Hey girl won’t you be surprised
Reiterating the expectation for the girl to be surprised.
I hate the feeling it’s too late to try
Expressing regret for the feeling that it's too late to attempt something.
Sometimes I wish I could cry
Expressing a desire to cry, suggesting emotional difficulty.
But sometimes I can’t bring myself
There are times when emotional expression is challenging.
I’ve worked the longest days and
Describing a history of long working days and playing nights for love.
Played the longest nights
Highlighting dedication to sustaining love through various experiences.
To put this love to share
Expressing the intention to share love within the sheltered light.
Within the sheltered Light
Associating love with a protected and illuminated space.
And what she held that since fell down
Reflecting on the loss of something held dearly, which might lead to personal gain.
Could be my gain
Suggesting that a loss could turn into a positive outcome.
And if love ever comes around again
If love returns, there is no expectation for it to be the same as before.
I won’t look for it or ask it to be the same
Expressing openness to a different manifestation of love in the future.
