When I was 13, my Dad bought me my first iPod and a $5 iTunes gift card. This was one of the 5 songs I bought. I remember riding the bus in middle school, listening to the same 5 songs on repeat until I earned enough allowance to buy another gift card 😅
My mother died 14 years ago, this was her favorite song. I come here when i want to feel close to her. I come here when i was to remember her healthy and happy, smiling while she was singing along to this song. ❤
Just saw the plain white t’s live the other day in the Milwaukee zoo. There was easily a couple hundred people there and at one point he quit singing and the crowd sang it to him. Near the end of the song it was so quite you could hear a pin drop. No joke this old guy was standing behind me completely in tears by the end. It was so amazing.
I'm still a kid in 2nd grade/2 years ago/ I asked a 4th grader out she said "im too old for you" you know how much it takes as an eight year old boy to give a 10 year old flowers on valintines day and get a hug a month later get rejected
My boyfriend always sings this to me when it comes on his playlist 🥺 he and your husband need to start a club called Men Who Are Way Too Wholesome For Their Own Good 😅❤️
Imagine my daughter having this song for her lifetime 🥰 Her name is Swahili - Dalila and she met the Plain White Ts when they sung this song at Union College, Schenectady, NY. Thank you Plain White Ts 👍🏾💕
It's nice seeing all the other people feeling that same strange, unplaceable pain when listening to this song. Being transported to your youth, then straight back to now. A chapter you can't revisit, full of hope and naivety. I'm sorry we can't go back - but at least we're all here in the comments x
Whenever I'm stressed about something i always turn this song on and just listen to it on repeat for 3 hours and it calms me down. By far my favorite song.
This song brings so many memories and nostalgia. Crazy how I'm about to be 20 in less than 3 weeks.... man time flies. I remember being 5 in the backseat of my dad's old trailblazer being picked up from preschool and this song would sometimes be playing. It almost makes me kinda emotional reminiscing on it all. But, that's life right? Time flies man... time flies.
I know this is supposed to be a happy song but it sounds sad. I remember hearing this song at a coffee shop on the last day I was in town which was sad. Nostalgia will always and forever be part of you❤
My wife's favourite song.....when we met whilst still in varsity,now 18 years later, she's on the other end of the couch and i decided to play it..... realising the lyrics speaks my journey with her
This song will always take me back to when I was 8 and didn’t have a care in the world. Now I’m 24 working as A rescue worker, but if I could go back to the first time I heard this I would love too
Lyrics cause I’m bored and I feel like you should know them 😊 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 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 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'll 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 Oh, whoa, whoa Oh whoa, oh Oh, oh
This song reminds me a lot of the relationship between my mom and dad. They don't like to admit it, but this is like their song. It's a sweet, innocent little song. I love it just as much as they do.

This is literally the best songs omg I love it so much it reminds me of my grandma and her divorce husband ☺️☺️ such a banger!!!! 10/10 would def listen again while taking a dump!!!!
I had a dog named delilah I have never cared for any one or thing as much as her but sadly she died 2 years ago the worst year ever because the dog I had even befor I was born died 1 week after her and then 4 months later my name died. I miss delilah 😢😞
when i was in middle school, i had the hugest crush on a boy i was way too nervous/excited to talk to, so i never ended up doing it, yet we somehow had our own ways of communicating. i felt a lot of feelings since i first saw him as it something clicked; i was walking into class when he was walking out, then we both stopped and (awkwardly) stared at each other, then walked passed each other. one day he sang only a bit of this song while staring at me until he realized then stopped. but i hold tht moment still close to my heart, bc it’s like he was thinking of this song since he was looking at me (😭😭😭)
This girl I like is moving to New York after highschool and each day is just ticking down to the point where we may not see eachother again. We both used to be together and I dreamed about her often but we both slowly fell apart and it’s hard to let her go. I never knew how painful love is when it’s all gone and how inevitable it is. This song encapsulates everything about her and it hurts
This song hits differently when you bouta send your only child off to college I’d write it all in love with me you’d fall if I had to walk a thousand miles seems pretty far I’d walk to mines if I had no other way love if my life Sana’a Desiree Congratulations class of 2022 Ya be good don’t ya miss me 4 years from now you’ll have ya degree and you’ll be rewriting history solving murders and crimes is Whst ya strive to be 😞🙏👩🎓❤️😘

Music is magic. Life. Present past and future.

So did I. It brought tears to my eyes because of how sweet and wholesome it was.
When I first heard this song it made me feel heartbreak for a relationship I hadn't even been in yet

Heavily felt.
Take it easy friend. I hope we both get our chance in our respective situations.
Song hits different now as an adult. Had to experience the heartbreak and rejection for this song to really hit hard.

Does he sing "Hey there Breanna" lmao
True love! Give him positivity and love

When I was a kid,growing up in the 2000 years,my mom would listen to this song & she loved it.She even made me sing that song.
This brings back so much memories my dream is to live in New York I love the song ❤️

It really helps slow down your breathing and set you in a calm mood doesn't it!
Will always be one of my favourite songs of ALL time ❤
This is my comfort song it's the only thing that made me sleep at night and now when I'm overstemulated I listen to it

The song brings back memories. I love that feeling when Hassan pops up on your phone and it reminds you of a certain time in your life in the past.
Thanks to whoever did the merchandise I appreciate everything you do
There will never be another Delilah
:'l
this has been one of my all time favorite songs since I was in like elementary school
I was in 5th grade when this song came out. So much memories.
Love this song!!
Lyrics cause I’m bored and I feel like you should know them 😊
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 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 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'll 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
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh whoa, oh
Oh, oh
Thanks

Your name?
I’m sorry for your loss!
Your name?

Plain White T’s thought it was never been a mistake for Delilah for coming in here that makes no difference and I deserve better.

Still one of my favorites

My bf just sent this to me and said it reminds me of him and I’m light crying he’s so sweet
the world will never ever be the same you’re to blame ❤

It's a warning... Never associate anyone with such a beautiful song. Enjoy it independently
This song hits different when you’re in a long distance relationship.
My girlfriend just sent this to me, I can definetly agree!
Agreed!
i love this
I remember I sing this in my boy chorus when I was in 8th grade
Nostalgia can make us laugh, as well as make us cry.
🫵banister is gonna shine brighter than time square
I love this
I'm surprised there isn't more comments
Y’all should see the real Delilah that this song was made for shes absolutely fucking gorgeous…like I understand why he made a song for her
Mannnn wish I knew those were da good dayz
My girlfriend is going to be moving soon (Texas to Virginia) so the 1000 miles away lyric hits deep.
He can pay the bills now 🥲

I listen to country music to think of my father. ps: he isn’t dead I just never see him anymore. It’s been 1 year and 2 months
If I have a baby girl in the future I’m definitely naming her after this song.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
