Kisah dibalik lagu Hey There Delilah

Hey, There Delilah.. adalah lagu dari and Plain White T's yang memenangkan Grammy dan dinobatkan menjadi best song 2007..

Hey, There delilah diciptakan oleh vokalisnya Plain White T's sekitar tujuh tahun yang lalu, ceritanya Tom Higgenson, si vokalis band itu bertemu dengan cewek bernama Delilah, dia ngegombal sama si Delilah "kalo dia punya lagu bagus tentang kamu, dan ini lagu bakal menang grammy (padahal saat itu lagu itu gak ada sama sekali)"

Delilah cuman bisa senyum aja dan cuek "dia pikir ini cuman gombalan aja". Delilah saat itu (sampai sekarang) masih punya pacar jadi dia gak mungkin nerima Tom Higgenson, tapi mereka tetap berhubungan sebagai teman lewat e-mail, karena Delilah akhirnya pindah ke New York dan jadi athlete pelari olympic di sana.

Akhirnya waktu berlalu Tom Higgenson akhirnya membuat lagu itu, tapi dia gak pernah pacaran sama Delilah. Pada tahun lalu lagu itu booming besar di Amerika dan membuat semua orang kaget, termasuk Delilah. Dan yang lebih parahnya lagi lagu itu masuk nominasi Grammy Award, sama seperti gombalannya Tom Higgenson.

Demi memenuhi janjinya dulu "kalau sampai lagu gue masuk grammy lo mesti ngedate sama gue" akhirnya Delilah mau untuk dateng ke Grammy itu, dan yg lebih menghebohkan akhirnya itu lagu menang Grammy.

Tom Higgenson dan Delilah DiCrescenzo memang nggak pernah jadian sampe sekarang, tapi kisah ini lagu yg mencenggangkan membuat jutaan orang terharu sama kisah ini.

LYRIC:
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time 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 getting 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 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 making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones 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.
