Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember how you used to umm
You used to phone up and (Ohh)
You wouldn't say your name you
You'd just say, uh, "Hey you"
[Verse 2]
You know, I see you on my blank sheet
Before I write or form oracle
This situation, yo
My memories choke me and stain
My pillow as my voice becomes hollow, as I
Trace tear lines around this space that won't fill
[Verse 3]
Yo, I feel nothing but this way and
The emptiness stays, and its
Cluttered with a silence that
Teases me, it leads me on like it's gonna say
Like it's gonna say
[Chorus]
(Hey, you) Hey, you
(Sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back) I'll try to
(Ohh) I'll try to come back
(Hey, you)
Yeah, I'm sorry (I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back)
Say, ah (One day)
[Verse 4]
You know, yesterday, I
I stood outside in the rain
In an attempt to
Dissolve away or
Just disappear or
Be gone
Be back or
Be just, I try to
See the point, I
Only see the pain
My dreams cry when they're slain
I regain consciousness to blurry vision
I try to listen out for whispers of
[Chorus]
(Hey, you) Hey, you
(I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back) I'll try
(Ohh) I'll try
Said (Hey, you)
(I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back)
(One day) One day
[Verse 5]
One day
Rain drops disguise my tears
Have gone
And I want you to be
Here with me, too
Said I can't, said I can't help but to be selfish, baby
'Cause I don't want to be alone
[Chorus]
(Hey, you) Hey
(I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back) I'll try
Say ah (Ohh) I'll try to come back home
(Hey, you) Hey
(I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back)
Say ah (One day) One day
[Verse 6]
Did I leave you behind or did you let me go?
All I know is you're not here
To say to me
Those special words (Hey, you)
Time was once on our side
But now, it's against us
It parts us
And we're not always saints
[Verse 7]
(Hey, you) Hey, you
(I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, hey you)
(Ohh) (Hey, you) You back home
(Hey, you)
(I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back)
(One day) One day
[Outro]
Said, "Hey, you"
I'm sorry that I had to leave, I'll try to come home
I'll try to come home
Said, "Hey, you"
I'm sorry
So one day
So one day
So one day
So one day
