Hey Hey Lyrics by Rich Cronin

The Vault

[Intro]
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
[Verse 1]
She closed her eyes when I said goodbye
Just to wait to hold the tears back (Tears back)
And you could live to be one-hundred-and-five
But you could never turn the years back (Years back)
She stood there with her back to the door
The same one I've seen often
I've made mistakes in this thing called life
But not like the one in Boston
She tried to act like she understood
Why this thing was now broken
I played it cool and put a kiss on her cheek
Then left, what was I smokin'?
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't let the good things just slip away
I miss you lately
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Why can't we take back the things we say?
[Verse 2]
1999, that was the year I left
Cold December where you could see my breath
As I said my last words to you
Then I never really heard from you
I guess I really thought that I could do better
I drove away in that V12 Jetta
Lookin' back, I could say it wasn't me
Left the real thing for a girl on TV
Chasin' after glamor and cash
I got a taste, but I couldn't make it last
And in the end, all I wanted was you
Damn, what did I do?
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't let the good things just slip away
I miss you lately
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Why can't we take back the things we say?
(Ooh, oh, yeah)
[Verse 3]
Back in Bean Town on the brink of fall
A novelty, you put a plaque on the wall
Saw you last night, you looked the same
Messed around and got a new last name
We talked a little 'bout this and that
You said it's nice to see me, things like that
And then you checked your watch, said you had to run
Stay safe, don't have too much fun
You faded off to the parking lot
And there won't ever be a second shot
It's kinda funny, little things we miss
Fifteen minutes wasn't worth all this
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't let the good things just slip away
I miss you lately
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Why can't we take back the things we say? (Take back the things we say)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't let the good things just slip away
I miss you lately
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Why can't we take back the things we say? (Yeah)
