Embracing Moments: Navigating Distance and Change in Everett Tea's 'Hey You'
Lyrics
Oh god
Expressing a sense of awe or distress, invoking a higher power with "Oh god."
I haven't seen you in a week and I can't wait to get the call that you're here now
Expressing anticipation and eagerness to receive a call from someone not seen in a week.
You wish you could stay and so do I
Both parties wish for a longer stay together, expressing a desire to share more time.
Do you want to watch Zombieland and stay inside?
Suggesting a desire to spend time indoors watching a movie (Zombieland) together.
I know you can't but that's not the point
Acknowledging limitations but emphasizing the value of time spent together rather than the activity.
It's about the time we spend not how we spend it
Highlighting the importance of the duration of time spent together over the specific activities undertaken.
See you in a few weeks or so
Indicating a future meeting in a few weeks, but uncertainty about the exact timing.
Who really knows? So take this as a farewell gift
Considering the possibility of a prolonged separation, offering a farewell sentiment as a gift.
Hey you
Directly addressing the listener with a salutation, "Hey you."
Are you still waiting for me to let you know I fell asleep again?
Asking if the listener is patiently waiting for information about falling asleep, possibly indicating a pattern of behavior.
It's all in my head
Suggesting that the mentioned situation is a product of the singer's thoughts or imagination.
I'm more stressed than you'll ever know
Revealing a high level of stress, surpassing the understanding of the addressed person.
So please just help me take it slow now and make it out alive
Pleading for support in slowing down the pace of life and navigating challenges together.
There's so many places I'd rather be
Expressing a desire to be in various places other than the current location or situation.
I wish we could close the space between you and me
Wishing for a closer emotional connection with the listener, despite physical distance.
Of course it's the stupid things I miss like getting mediocre fast food with my friends
Yearning for seemingly ordinary moments, like fast food with friends, indicating a longing for normalcy.
Can someone tell me when this will end
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of a challenging situation and seeking clarity on when it will end.
So I can resume every little thing I do
Eager to resume normal activities once the challenging period comes to an end.
It's looking like a few months or so now so let me know what I can do for you

Hey you

Are you still waiting for me to let you know I fell asleep again?

It's all in my head
Restating that the challenges and stress are internal, existing within the singer's thoughts.
I'm more stressed than you'll ever know

So please just help me take it slow now and make it out alive

I call you up but you're still asleep

Longing for some peace and palm trees

All this time I spend awake, I contemplate all of this change
