Plain White T's(Tom Higgenson) - Hey there Delilah

2008년 빌보드 싱글차트 정상을 차지하면서 Delilah 가 누구인지 관심을 끌기시작했다.

Tom Higgenson (Plain White T's의 리더)가 우연히 Delilah 라는 여인을 알게 되었고 첫눈에 반하게 되어 그녀의 환심을 사기위해 노래를 썼다. 장거리 연애를 하게 된다면 어떤 기분일까 상상하며 곡을 완성하여 그녀에게 음악을 보냈지만 마음을 얻는데는 실패를 하고 만다. 노래에 감동을 받았지만 이미 그녀에게는 남자친구가 있었기 때문이였다.

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
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's 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 it's 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 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'll 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
