[Intro: Natalie, Marsha]
Remember how you used to, uh
You used to phone up and (Ohhh)
You wouldn't say your name
You'd just say, "Hey you"
[Spoken: Natalie]
You know, I see you on my blank sheet before I write
Or form or record this situation, yo
My memories choke me and stain my pillow
As my voice become hollow as I trace tear lines
Around this space that won't fill
Yo, I feel nothing but this way and the emptiness stays
And it's cluttered with a silence that teases me it leads me on like it's
Gonna say, like it's gonna say....
[Chorus: Marsha, Natalie]
Hey you (Hey you)
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try (I'll try to) to come back
Oohhh (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 one day (Say uh)
[Spoken: Natalie]
You know yesterday, 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, but I only see the pain, you know
My dreams cry, when they're slain
I regain consciousness to blurry vision
I try to listen out for whispers of
[Chorus: Marsha, Natalie]
Hey you (Hey you)
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back (I'll try)
Oohhh (I'll try, say)
Hey you
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back one day (One day, one day)
[Verse: Marsha]
Rain drops disguised, my tears have gone
I want you to be here with me, too
Stand by me
Said I can't help to be selfish, baby
'Cause I don't want to be alone
[Chorus: Marsha, Natalie]
Hey you
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back (I'll try)
Oohhh (I'll try to come back, I'll)
Hey you
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back one day (Say I, one day)
[Spoken: Natalie, Marsha]
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
[Chorus: Marsha, Natalie]
Hey you (Hey you)
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back (Hey, oohhh)
Hey you
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to back one day (One day)
[Outro: Natalie, Marsha]
Hey you
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come home
I'll try to come home
Said, hey you
I'm sorry (Hey, you)
Yeah
Said one day
Said one day (Hey)
