Hey There
Navigating Love's Illusions: Hey There's Wisdom in Romance
Lyrics
Lately when I'm in my room all by myself
The singer spends time alone in her room.
In the solitary gloom I call to myself
She speaks to herself in the darkness.
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
The singer addresses someone with dreams or aspirations.
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Love hasn't made this person foolish in the past; they were once very wise.
Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud
Refers to the person being in a hopeful, dreamy state.
Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you
Despite not receiving any attention or affection, this person believes someone will come to them eventually.
Better forget him, him with his nose in the air
Suggests moving on from someone who acts arrogantly.
He has you dancin' on a string, break it and he won't care
Indicates that the person is being manipulated and if they break free, the manipulator won't care.
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Offers advice with a caring, maternal tone.
Or are you not seein' things too clear
Questions if the person is not seeing the situation clearly.
Are you too much in love to hear
Asks if the person is too deeply in love to understand.
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other
Asks if everything being said is not registering or being ignored.
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes [Are you talking to me?]
Repeats the earlier reference to someone with dreams or aspirations.
Love never made a fool of you [Not until now]
Reiterates that love hasn't made the person foolish until now.
You used to be too wise [Yes, I was once]
Confirms the person's past wisdom.
Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Repeats the offer of advice in a caring manner.
Or am I not seein' things too clear
Repeats the question of whether the person is not seeing the situation clearly.
Are you just too far gone to hear
Asks if the person is too lost or immersed in their emotions to understand.
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other
Repeats the question of whether the advice is being ignored or not comprehended.
