Hey Boi

from MEMO by Miri Tyler

/

lyrics

There was a "boy"
With flowers in "his" hair
Wasn't goin anywhere

And this "boy"
"He" liked to be alone
"He" liked to get Stoned

So "he" sat with "his" thoughts
But sometimes "he'd" get caught
In the riptide
And though "he" always swam back
To the shore, "he" was trapped
In his own mind

There was a girl
Her heart was full of love
But she thought she was above

And this girl (this girl had dreams of places)
She dreamt about The Bay (far away)
Of places far away

So she walked and she walked
'Til she got to the docks
Of the ocean
Where in the waves, she found
She could hear the sound
Of her emotions (AJ: "hi")
The went like:

Corey: "YOU LISTEN TO ME
YOU'RE SO SPECIAL AND SO TALENTED AND YOU HAVE EVERYTHING IT TAKES MORE THAN EVERYTHING IT TAKES AND YOU'RE REALLY STUPID BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

And i know you don't love me anymore and i know that i blew it but i least i know that and you dont
Go to art school and you don't understand how
Special you are then you know NOTHING

And i DID love you and i still-...
Only i didn't realize it really WAS love because it was MORE than love and not just some Stupid Feeling in my stomach like everything else
I'll never love anyone as much as you and IHATEYOU IHATEYOU
WHY'D YOU WAIT SO LONG TO...."

Hey "Boy" (girl, it's time to)
Think it's time to understand (understand you)
You never had to be a man (always seemed so strange)
Its so strange (you talk about)
The way you talk about change (these changes)
While your behavior stays the same (makes you seem insane)

'Cuz you think that you know
Which way life's gonna go (to stay the same)
But you don't know
(Guess ya heard about the pain and suffering)

You can change everything (you know the way)
If you lift up a finger (you could leave today)
And help
(Whatcha doin' bout it?
Whatcha doin' bout it?)

But you're locked in your room (but you'll just stay)
Getting high on the gloom (you're M.I.A.)
You're a no-show
(Just sittin' in the same old nothing)

If you're not gonna do it for you
Do it for everyone else
If you're not gonna do it for you
Do it for everyone else
If you're not gonna do it for you
Do it for everyone else
If you're not gonna do it for you
Do it for everyone else

AJ: "listening to that stuff is guaranteed to make you sterile"
Mark: "maybe i wanna be sterile"
