Hey Joe

so much I wanna say

but words fall into an empty space

I know she must be waiting up

sitting at home, holding her phone

she's been waiting for your call

that's what I tell myself

it's a lame excuse for not calling you

and hear you say my name

it's just my broken heart talking

saying "dont break me again"

and I miss you like air

I feel you on every breath

coming through my veins

I pick up the phone, dial the numbers

I've had memorized for so long

the screen says joe

right before I press call

figure you're busy,

perhaps talking to her

so I drop the phone

go back to the floor

I rememeber the last time we talked

you said we'd be Ok

chorus->

hey Joe! there's something you must know

lately I've been staying up missing you

building again all my walls

hey Joe! maybe something went wrong

you couldnt stand the girl in the corner for too long,

I was that girl and I wrote you a song

hey Joe! I want to come home

you were a sparkly person in the world

tell me where did you go?

I should have known....

superman! wont you save this?

like when we were best friends

hey superman! cant you save us?

our friendship aint strong enough?

remember I wrote you that superman song

"Why Cant We Be Friends?!

plays in the radio

and I wonder that same thing

my head feels haunted by questions

were are we now?

sitting in the cold floor

trying to work it out

rehearsing a speech

I may never say

why cant we be innocents?

holding hands through december

I just hope you'll remember

the fireworks over this sad lonely town

darkness falls

this is turning into a very long song

chorus->

hey Joe! there's something you must know

lately I've been staying up missing you

building again all my walls

hey Joe! maybe something went wrong

you couldnt stand the girl in the corner for too long,

I was that girl and I wrote you a song

hey Joe! I want to come home

you were a sparkly person in the world

tell me where did you go?

I should have known....

I wish I could blame her

so I can be mad at someone

but it was nobody's fault

not even mine

we had a fall out

I hope we make it through but if we dont

I'll miss you always

and if you have kids

and they point at the pictures

please tell them my name

maybe you'll even say:

"she wrote the book,

at the top of our booskshelve,

she wrote me a song

about being her superman

we were best friends at the time"

I want you to know

you are better than superman

nothing's changed, no one will ever take your palace

yeah if we dont

remember through the cold

"hey joe"

chorus->

hey Joe! there's something you must know

lately I've been staying up missing you

building again all my walls

hey Joe! maybe something went wrong

you couldnt stand the girl in the corner for too long,

I was that girl and I wrote you a song

hey Joe! I want to come home

you were a sparkly person in the world

tell me where did you go?

I should have known....
