Plain White T´s - Hey there Delilah

Plain White T´s es otra banda de estadounidense de la siempre prometedora ciudad de Chicago; giran en torno de ese punk/rock/pop por el que se mueven muchísimas bandas allá en el norte. Tienen 4 discos editados hasta el momento, 2 lanzados de manera independiente; y alcanzaron la fama con el tema que les dejo, el hit "Hey there Delilah" que se incluyó en el disco "All that we need", donde pasó sin pena ni gloria. Pero fue relanzado en el siguiente disco que llevó como nombre "Every Second Counts" agregándole una sección de cuerdas, y el éxito fue inevitable. "Delilah" consiguió llegar al número uno del Billboard estadounidense, y de las listas de varios países europeos. ¿Otros temas destacables de la banda? por lo poco que escuché puedo decirles "A lonely September", "Our time now" y "Radios in heaven"; si hay tiempo y oportunidad algún día hablaré de alguno de esos.

Para Sil, una amiga en la distancia... después no digas que no te regalo nada :P

Hey there, Delilah
Plain White T´s

What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there, Delilah
I know times are gettin' hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there, Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes, and trains, and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way

Delilah I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there, Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be makin' history like I do
You know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want too
Hey there, delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me
