If your gonna jump, hey you hang on
If you feel like giving up, hey you hang on
Won't forget today sun is bright, sky is blue yeah
The pain will go away in another year or two

If you got a phone, hey you call home
If you got a voice, hey you rejoice

Won't forget today sun is bright, sky is blue yeah
Won't forget to pray day is night, world is new yeah
Pain will go away in another year or two
In a hundred years or two

If your gonna fly, hey you don't cry
You gotta live to die, hey you goodbye

Won't forget today sun is bright, sky in blue yeah
Won't forget to pray day is night world is new yeah
Pain will go away in another year or two
In a hundred years or two

...In a thousand years or two

    General Comment:A little story I Heard about the Clarks....

    They were chosen to open for 3 doors down at a concert in Pittsburgh, and they stole the show..... when The Clarks left the stage, to 3 doors down, most of the audience had vacated!!!!

    I live in Pembroke, NY And get 103.3 the Edge and was very happy to hear Hey you about three years ago.... the clarks have since released a new album called fast moving cars which i have not heard an ounce of being played on the radio..........i am ever so pissed......

    Hey you basically saved my life....

    General Comment:OMG Dreamwevr! I was at that show! I go to school in Reading (but live outside of Pittsburgh)... that show at the Sovereign Center kicked ass! I went and saw them in April in Philly, too. But anyway, about the song... not one of my favorites, but still good. :) Nice, mellow, song to listen to while speeding down the highway during the summer with the windows down... not that I would know or anything...

    General Comment:I recently moved to NJ (help me) from da burgh. I heard one of thier songs on the radio out here about a year ago, but I can't remember which now.

    I'm going to see if I can get some of the stations out here to give them some airtime. Thier CDs are in most of the stores out here (Asbury Park/Freehold area).

    I haven't picked up this album yet. After hearing all the good reviews, I think I should.

    General Comment:Hey Traumattizing, I grew up in the Pittsburgh area but recently moved to Reading Pa. They definiftly know the Clarks here. In fact they're playing at the soveriegn center here in a few weeks... Whether it's some crowded bar in New Castle or an arena in Reading I know they'll rock the place. Later...
