Plain White T's Album

hey there delilah
whats it like in new york city
im a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
yes you do
time square cant shine as bright as you
i swear its true

hey there delilah
dont you worry about the distance
im right there if you get lonely
give this song another listen
close your eyes
listen to my voice its my disguise
im by your side

oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
what you do to me

hey there delilah

but just believe me girl
someday ill pay the bills with this guitar
we'll have it good
we'll have the life we knew we would
my word is good

hey there delilah
ive got so much left to say
if every simple song i wrote to you
would take your breath away
id write it all
even more in love with me youd fall
we'd have it all

oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me

a thousand miles seems pretty far
but they've got planes and trains and cars
id walk to you if i had no other way
our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
that none of them have felt this way
delilah i can promise you
that by the time that we get through
the world will never ever be the same
and youre to blame

hey there delilah

two more years and youll be done with school
and ill be makin history like i do
you know its all because of you
we can do whatever we want to
hey there delilah heres to you
this ones for you

oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
what you do to me

Some people look at themselves,
With such doubt, Some people
Just take the easy way out..
But I don't want to..

Some people don't care,
Whats wrong or right,
Some people just wanna
Walk through life,
Some people just try to follow the crowd..
But I don't want too..

They'll never know what life is about..
So don't be like them,
Don't take the easy way out,
Don't take the easy way out,
Oh No,
Don't take the easy way..

Some people look at the
World with such doubt
(Don't take the easy way..)
Some people just
Take the easy way out,
But I don't want too..

Some people don't try
To be themselves,
Some people wanna be,
Someone else,
Some people don't mind keepin'
Their voice down,
But I don't want too..

They'll never know what life is about..
So don't be like them,
Don't take the easy way out,
Don't take the easy way out,
Oh No,
Don't take the easy way..

If you've got a point to make,
Make it,
If you've got something to say,
Say it,
Its your life so whatever you do,
Don't fake it,
Don't fake it.

They'll never know what life is about..
So don't be like them,
Don't be like them..
Don't be like them..
Don't take the easy way out,
Don't take the easy way out,
Oh No,
Don't take the easy way..

Lost myself again,
Didn't care,
I was missin',
Said goodbye to friends,
And drove away,

I just don't belong in a town,
Where no one listens,
Even if I'm wrong,
I'll find a way..

Gotta got away from here,
Find a way to disappear,
Say goodbye to everything and everyone I know,
Gotta go and leave this town,
All it does is bring me down,
I just wanna tell my friends no matter where I go,
I'll see them down the road,

Lost myself again,
No one new I was missing,
Said goodbye to dad,
And his new wife..

Studder around this lawn,
Now sick and tired of wishing,
Even if I'm wrong,
I'll still be right.

Gotta got away from here,
Find a way to disappear,
Say goodbye to everything and everyone I know,
Gotta go and leave this town,
All it does is bring me down,
I just wanna tell my friends no matter where I go,
I'll see them down the road.

I'm sick of dreaming,
I would rather stay up all night,
Live my own life,
Don't worry about me!

Gotta got away from here,
Find a way to disappear,
Say goodbye to everything and everyone I know,
Gotta go and leave this town,
All it does is bring me down,
I just wanna tell my friends no matter where I go,
I'll see them down the road
See 'em down the road,
I'll see 'em down the road,
(Lost myself again, didn't notice I was missin')
I'll seem 'em down the road.

stuck in a moment at ten past nine
don't know if she's showin'
i wish she would tell me what was on her mind
i can't stand not knowin'
why am i here
she used to say i was the love of her life
lately she ain't showin'
i used to say she's gonna make a good wife
where is this thing goin'
why am i here
why am i here
every word
every word i write
i can't help losing myself
every kiss
every kiss goodnight
i can't help losing myself
i can't help losing myself in you
oh
stuck in a moment now its 10:09
no way she is showin'
these games she plays aren't even worth my time
where is this thing goin'
why am i here
why am i here
every word
every word i write
i can't help losing myself
every kiss
every kiss goodnight
i can't help losing myself in you
well you don't wanna let me go
but you can't have it both ways now
what can i do
cause i can't help falling
and i can't stop calling you
what can i do
every word
every word i write
i can't help losing myself
every kiss goodnight
i can't help losing myself
every time we fight
i can't do anything right
when we say goodbye
i can't help losing myself
i can't help losing myself in you

If I told you I loved you
Would it move you enough
To even act as if you've heard?

If I said I was leavin'
Would you still find a reason
To ignore my every word?

'Cause I'm the one who waits here for you,
I'm the who'll always adore you,
I'm the one who is dying for your cause,

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?

If I told you to meet me in the city this evening,
Would you even think to come?
Everyone would be hearing my intentions of prolonging,
Your easy when your numb.

'Cause I'm the one who waits here for you,
I'm the who'll always adore you,
I'm the one who see's right through it all.

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?

If I told you,
Would you care?
If I told you,
Would you still never be there?

If I told you,
Would you care?
(Do you care at all?)
If I told you,
Would you still never be there?

If I told you,
I need you,
Would you still not agree to even offer me your hand?

If I said I was dying,
Would you keep on denying my attempts to be your man,

'Cause I'm the one who waits here for you,
I'm the who'll always adore you,
I'm the one who'll catch you when you fall.

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?

Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?
Do you care at all?

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in new York city
I'm a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time square cant shine as bright as you
I swear its true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice its my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
