Hey, Hey

--This is mainly my interpretation gathered from other people's speculation, and my own.... it's "primarily" a lust, not love, story, and it then turns into realization about oneself, etc... jpjunge, i think had it right-on!--

Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey... [Hey Hey!! He's always wanting to get this girl's attention that he thinks is cute.] Well I'm moving kinda slow [But he's nervous...] Down that same old path [That same sidewalk/path he always sees her everyday. Maybe on the way to work or something.] Wastin time inside this hour glass [He's so hesitant and shy that he spends every day admiring her and wanting to talk to her, but never does. A thing that many of us- especially shy people- can relate to!]

She's comin up ahead now and I feel Yes I feel My head turnin like a race car wheel [Whenever they're walking toward eachother, he gets flustered- butterflies in his stomach, etc...]

Maybe I'll try to say hi another time [He always ends up saying, "Uh, I'll talk to her tomorrow", because he's too shy.] I gotta find a way to get inside your mind [He wants to know what she's thinking... of him, to see if it's the same as his thougts of her.] I'll talk smooth, walk one step closer, Be real cool, real cool, real cool, real cool... Dang, real cool [He thinks to himself, "deep breath Ok, just be cool, don't look dumb, act smooth."

Say what you want, Say what you mean, [?He (you, everyone) should say what they're looking for, or what they're after, and what they mean to do. And they should see if it's truly the right thing?] Question yourself, are you really what you seem [He (everyone) needs to look inside himself and, unbiasedly, ask himself if what he's doing is really the right thing?] Say who you are, Say what you mean Question yourself, are you really what you dream

Now here I come one more time... [Another day of seeing her.] But she slides on by Not even a second look [She walked past again, not even acknowledging him.] She took the bait right off that hook [Like the "fish that got away", she got by him again, no matter what he tries.]

I've got my blinders on tight I pull my cap a little lower [He's so shy that he's always being reserved and bashful around her so she never really CAN see him.] I can't hide...hide...away... [He knows he can't just keep doing this forever.]

--This is where he begins to realize the folly in what he's doing, and basing his infatuation/lust on looks (which is a mistake a lot of people make!).--

You might think this is easy for me But there's a lot of things You don't know You don't care You don't wanna see [She doesn't consider the difficulty that he's going thru in this situation, while she just remains distant, not caring about him.]

A long while since I got myself across [He hasn't really gotten his true self through to her.] but maybe there's a reason for that [But it's probably for a good reason, or because she wouldn't value his TRUE self anyway!] Even if I caught you, I'd throw you back [She's probably not worth it... He doesn't even know what she's truly like... he's not gonna try for something that's not worth it anymore.]

[2nd-CHORUS]

[1st "Hey" CHORUS]

Well I really don't want to fall, back Cause you don't seem like you care [?If (hypothetically) he got her, he knows he wouldn't want to "Fall back" on her, emotionally, because he knows she probably wouldn't care about his true self... It would just burden her and hold her back.?] And if I would Fall (back)... back... You don't seem like you care

Fall down your back Fall down your back Fall down your back (You don't seem like you care) Fall down your back

I will not, I will not hold..... Hold you back (You don't seem like you care) [He's not going to hold her back with his emotions (the things he knows his partner should care about), cuz he knows she's not worth it.]

Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't..... Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't..... Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't..... Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't..... Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't..... Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't..... Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't..... Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
