About Hello

Hello Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hello, it's me

I was wondering if after all these years, you'd like to meet

To go over everything

They say that time's supposed to heal ya

But I ain't done much healin'

Hello, can you hear me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be

When we were younger and free

I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

[Pre-Chorus]

There's such a difference between us

And a million miles

[Chorus]

Hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

[Verse 2]

Hello, how are you?

It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry

I hope that you're well

Did you ever make it out of that town

Where nothing ever happened?

[Pre-Chorus]

It's no secret that the both of us

Are running out of time

[Chorus]

So hello from the other side (Other side)

I must've called a thousand times (Thousand times)

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside (Outside)

At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

[Bridge]

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows) Ooh, anymore

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows) Ooh, anymore

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows) Ooh, anymore

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows) Anymore

[Chorus]

Hello from the other side (Other side)

I must've called a thousand times (Thousand times)

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside (Outside)

At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
