311 - Hey You Lyrics






You've changed your tune any times
Since we've met
But I'll always recognize you
You are part of me
I feel you
Whether in Jamaica or in the Angel City
You are such a gift to me
Ooooh

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm sayin'
And we've just begun
Uuuuh

I've got one wish for this music
To be an uplift and I need an uplift to deal
There are few songs all the people can sing along one song
Come along and sing it for real
Ooooh

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm sayin'
And we've just begun
Uuuuh

As I wander around, town to town
Lost and found
When so many others come and go
(come and go)
The sweetness (sweetness)
Pulls me through

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm sayin'
And we've just begun

Hey you
You never turned your back on me
When I gave up on myself
Hey you
You never turned your back on me
When I gave up on myself

Hey you
What would the world be like?
Without you around
Music
You're my constant companion
oooooh

  8. D.... K....

    Hey you, out there in the cold
    Getting lonely, getting old
    Can you feel me?
    Hey you, standing in the aisles
    With itchy feet and fading smiles
    Can you feel me?
    Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
    Don't give in without a fight

    Hey you out there on your own
    Sitting naked by the phone
    Would you touch me?
    Hey you with you ear against the wall
    Waiting for someone to call out
    Would you touch me?
    Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
    Open your heart, I'm coming home

    But it was only fantasy
    The wall was too high
    As you can see
    No matter how he tried
    He could not break free
    And the worms ate into his brain

    Hey you, out there on the road
    Always doing what you're told
    Can you help me?
    Hey you, out there beyond the wall
    Breaking bottles in the hall
    Can you help me?
    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
    Together we stand, divided we fall

  36. B.... A....

    these guys still sound great.

  37. B.... T....

    I delivered a pizza to the sign spinner guy in Ft. Worth a couple of times. He recognized my 311 tattoo and was like "I was in one of their videos." He was super nice. Good tipper, too lol. Also, if you called that 817 number from the other sign spinner, there was a special recording for the fans from nick. Not sure if it's a coincidence with the origin of the spinner, but 817 is the area code for Ft. Worth....the city he lived in. That's my 311 story.

    B.... T....

    Wes J. I picture him making his own pizza, spinnin' his own dough n shit

    B.... T....

    Just tried the phone number. It doesn’t work anymore

    B.... T....

    I’m from Fort Worth and I’ve seen him too! He lives in Azle lol

  61. J.... R....

  62. M.... H....

    M.... H....

    Happy 311 DAY YA ALL. Wish we were in NOLA about now.

    N.... ....

    extremekicksdotcom NOLA ? North Los Angeles ? Northern Louisiana ? New Orleans Louisiana ?

    N.... ....

    SS37 3dOH New Orleans, Louisiana. Its where most of the 311 days are and people refer to New Orleans as NOLA alot.

  66. M.... ....

    This MV is awesome, ending reminds me of PotUSA Peaches MV. Which is also awesome :D

  67. S.... K....

    sign spinners~~!!

  68. J.... K....

    This is 311's worst song ever

    J.... K....

    You're the worst floating turd ever.

    J.... K....

    Why can't you people graduate from high school and understand that a band can write a new song and it still be good. I'm 99% sure that if this track was released in 1999 that you would love it

    J.... K....

    It maybe the worst to some, but 311 has the bar set high. It’s still tons better than most music you find on the radio nowadays

  69. B.... B....

    He needs more money.

  70. M.... G....

    I had to watch the video again, I paid more attention to the sign thrower the first time. That's tight.

  71. J.... D....

    I wish I could do a guitar spinner and knoxk everyone down..that would be awesome!

  72. b.... ....

    there always has to be those people that dislike the song so much they feel the need to make a comment. 

    dont waste your time and, dont be one of them ahah
    love this song, 311 is a forever and always favorite.

    b.... ....

    311 is a real band with alot of talent.....25 years strong and still kickin it...... F all the haters that dont appreciate true music that anybody can jam to nomatter what life has thrown their way!!!!! 3114life!!!!!!

  73. F.... L....

    very beautiful

  74. C.... S....

    Sign spinner is a beast!!!

  75. H.... B....

    This song is so awesome on so many levels. So phat live

  76. M.... G....

    was this song on a movie or show?????????? I feel like I've heard this somewhere before

  77. M.... ....

    Not sure why children hate 311 so much. they're not metal, punk, or pop, no matter how much you want them to be. Also, Green Day is an abomination. Billie Joe Armstrong looks like he dumped a barrel of oil on his head and pisses and moans about our government, as if that's hip and being a hardcore rebel.

    M.... ....

    im 19 still consider myself a child , and I went to their concert it was the best concert i've ever been to hands down.. its not ALL children Lol

    M.... ....

    To be fair, how can you not respect green day for how they became a household name playing punk music, a weak form of it but still punk none the less, also they do have some bangers from back in the day!

    M.... ....

    +dominic garcia True,.. but fuk green day and that runt singer!!!

    M.... ....

    Green Day was great before that boulevard of broken dreams shit. They became sellouts. Old green day (kerplunk) and 311 were my picks for skating back in the 90s along with bouncing souls and penny wise.

    M.... ....

    Not all kids hate 311. I’m 16. But I had a Dad with good taste in music, so....

  78. J.... O....

    Such garbage. I adored this band as a youth and as a teenager. They never evolved. This is hardly listenable. Individually the members of the band are technically talented so I'm not sure why they trampled the same territory over and over again. Now they have to sell tickets on the hope they play "their old stuff."

    J.... O....

    you have no ear bud.

    J.... O....

    +John Short Oh they've definitely evolved with their sound over the years,album to album is something different brought to the table by 311. It's there!

    J.... O....

    You don't have to listen to one band, this band is here for this specific sound and so if you wanna hear this sound then listen to 311 if you want a different sound then listen to a different band, it's not rocket science

    J.... O....

    They have evolved. Their music didn’t sound exactly the same as they did in 1995 they got even more mellow. Which is good. I can get down with 311 from any era tho. Problem is you haven’t Evolved from whatever primordial ooze you crawled out of

    J.... O....

    Haven’t evolved? Maybe they should’ve made an album all about EVOLVING their sound. Oh wait, they did....

  79. L.... S....

    Dang man this song is soooo good until the chorus. Its okay if you disagree with me though, Im just more of a fan of their experimental/reggae/ska/atmospheric song instead of their hard rock stuff.

  80. P.... ....

    happy 311 day 2015

    P.... ....

    +PKSkyler Happy 311 day 2016!!

  81. r.... M....

    como se llama ese letrero para compralo :D

  82. T.... K....

    Great job! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks :)

  83. s.... n....

    I like pizza too.

  84. b.... ....

    No wonder the economy tanked. We had amateur sign spinners.

    b.... ....

    @bosebucks375 lol...

    b.... ....

    bosebucks375 lol

  85. M.... O....

    I like pizza

    M.... O....

    +Marty Olson Me too! What a coincidence!

    M.... O....

    +ParadiXe311 no freaking way!!! we totally need to chill sometime bro...

  86. d.... ....

    The phone number is a fax machine now :(

  87. M.... D....

    That's my old green Toyota Corolla behind the sign spinner and drum kit.

  88. k.... ....

    The sign kid is more entertaining that 311.......lol

  89. E.... F....

    Come along and sing it for real!

  90. G.... H....

    His name is Matt Doolan. He's google-able

  91. M.... D....

    This is an AD for a job on Craigslist

  92. A.... F....

    man i saw this on like vh1  so long ago there was another video too it was a guy sitting on a bed in some sort of suit a cello was part of the video

  93. B.... B....

    man! that guy is incredible!! Madd props to 311 for promoting talent in such a wonderfully unique way... Keep it up keeping on!!1

    B.... B....

    hell ya he should be a bartender he'd make some mad loot spinnin bottles like that

    B.... B....

    +fadingFWD 😂

  94. M.... T....

    THIS VIDEO ROCKS. WHO HAS THAT MUCH FUN WITH A SIGN. I COULD.

  95. R.... ....

    Dude I love 311, but that distorted guitar sound gets fucking annoying after awhile.

    R.... ....

    @André Fellipe Amorim nah bro that's you. wake up, bitch. 

    R.... ....

    You should get your self at the doctor's.

    R.... ....

    I couldn't disagree with you more ;)

    R.... ....

    @FanOf311 I can respect that lol 

    R.... ....

    You distortion haters can all burn in the eternal metal HELL!!!! :D Nah for real though, 311 as diverse as they are must keep the tasteful (no riff salad) grunge/heavy grooves. I mean cmon, the initial (commercial realese) of 311 was fairly grungy to a degree and not yet seen since, but it worked and is a part of their signature sound. Cheers! 

  96. S.... ....

    every single clip you have an ad at the front fuck you i skipped them all cant be bothered with that shit.

    S.... ....

    dude know what you mean i put google chrome as my home page then downloaded their ad blocker haven't seen one since i'd fucking cocksuckers this and fucking cuntface bastards that but not anymore ha.ha. don't go with that windows explorer shit i just use google chrome it's the number one search engine everybody go's with anyways so might as well cut out the middle man.

    S.... ....

    @darren brisson internet explorer uses google chrome lol

  97. P.... ....

    good song but bad video

    P.... ....

    what???????? yeah, where are the hot bitches?? :D
