hey, you! Lyrics

Hey, you walking down the street

I've been wondering about the things that you've seen

Dirty people with their beautiful dreams

Of being clean

Hey, you with the scars on your skin

I can see beyond the prison you're in

How the way the world beholds you don't fit

With how you're living

Maybe I won't be seeing you

For a long time

Hey, you know the chance you keep

To walk on air and wear the stars on your feet

Hangs in the balance of the planets you need

And reality

Maybe I'll be seeing you

Or maybe not

I pretend I'm invincible

But you're all all that I got

It's not asking a lot

To want more in the end

You'll find you're much better off

Getting used to the view from the edge

Who's to say you're lucky?

Who's to say you're cursed?

Who's to say you're sorry

When you're the one that gets hurt?

It's funny how it all shakes out

To be better looking back

We desire what we lack more than what we deserve

Tell me, what do you think you deserve?

Tell me, what do you think you deserve?
