The 1997-2009 era of alt rock/pop was really great when you rediscover it piece by piece, the nostalgic feeling of finding parts of your past immortalised in music
His raging confidence in making it as a guitarist reminds me of a very talented friend who lost the fine motor skills in his hands as a side effect of chemo, right after graduating high school Reminds me of relationships that I thought would survive distance but didn't god damn I'm negative
I was really young, maybe around first grade, when this song came out. I had this ragged old stuffed animal beagle as long as I remember. When the song came out, I was so in love with it whenever it played in my mom's car that I named the stuffed animal Delilah. And yes I still have that stuffed animal to this day. some will see it as immature. But when I feel it's old fur and hear this song after more than ten years, it gives me the nostalgia of the young carefree days. If you read this thx I guess.
My son David was listening to this song one night while stationed at Ft Lewis WA that same night I was driving through Montgomery AL listening to this same song at the same time he was. He didn't come home from Afghanistan so this song is so special to me ❤
Now from reading your sweet memory of your son, I too will remember you and him singing this song, grace and peace be with you always. I live close to JBLM (((hugs))) from one mom to another
not to ruin your comment but this song is based off of him and this girl dalilah (obviously but I forgot her last name) and the leader of the band met her at a party. He tried to woo her by saying he will write a song about her, she clearly stated she has a bf. He didn't care. He made the song about her and in an interview she stated that she felt like a wench because she thought she led him on (she didn't, he just didn't care and wanted her even though she has a bf) and even said that the song turned her life in a nightmare cause wherever she went it'd be playing, the pool, party, club, whatever.
Years ago, I met my first Delilah. She would always light up the room whenever she walked in. We never really went anywhere with this love. I don't think either of us really knew how to. So now I listen to this song for the first time in a long time all these years later, and it hits differently now. We had our ups and downs. I still wish her luck even when I miss her.
This was my sister's favorite song I learned to play it for her when I was around 8 or 9. She died in 2007 lost her battle to cancer. My first child is due Jan 11th 2025, and we have decided to name her Delilah Marie Taylor.
Plain White T’s hit, “Hey There Delilah,” was in the running for two Grammy awards, and people are still talking about the girl from the popular tune. Delilah DiCrescenzo, a very successful professional runner who just missed out on the 2012 Olympic Team, will be featured in the ESPN The Magazine’s February 18 music issue, in which she tells the story of how she ended up in the song for the umpteenth time: She was back home in Chicago while on break from school at Columbia University. She had a boyfriend at school, but met a guy at a party who was in this band called the Plain White T’s, and the musician told her he was going to write a song about her. A few months later, Tom Higgenson visited her house to drop off a CD. One of the tracks was called “Hey There Delilah.” She was flattered. Then the song got big. Real big. Nominated for a Grammy big. On February 8th, 2008, she attended the Grammys with the band. The song didn’t win, but she described the day as one of the best of her life. In years since, the song still follows her. And that’s okay. The song didn’t get Tom Higgenson the girl, she is still with the same boyfriend from college , but they’ve both enjoyed the ride.
did anyone just suddenly need to listen to this, almost like if life was like a little kid tugging your arm to listen to this, and you listen to it anyway because theres just something about it that seems like you need to?
Lol, trusts me, that doesn't really help either. Even when you're in the moment which you know you'll miss later and is something you'll look back on fondly, you can do nothing about it. You can't make it any better or worse. The awareness does literally nothing, lol. #speaking from experience
This song can be played anywhere , alone when sad , at a party with everyone singing along , in a car ride but no one realized how impactful and beautiful this song would be.
1st heard this back when I was a kid in 2007. Ever since that day, I've always loved this song. I still play it and sing it from time to time. A timeless gem
My brother took his own life yesterday, he used to always sing me this song, he sounded really similar to the singer and it’s almost like he’s still singing to me
So true It gave me the permission to fall apart the night my mum passed away I was with her as she died I had been strong , then got into my car put radio on and this was playing Best cry I ever had Jenny xx
I have a specific memory back in 2007 of my friend and I listening to this song while playing Club Penguin on a now ancient computer. I feel like crying...
I miss this kind of music. I'm sure many people agree with me... (Edit) I made this comment when I was 13. I’m 18 now and still listen to some of this genre of older music ❤️ thanks for the love on the comment yall :) all the music recommendations are highly appreciated as well
Anyone else listen to this song because it takes you back to simpler times when life wasn’t so confusing? It’s like a little time capsule of emotion that seems like a memory.
The song "Hey There Delilah" was released in 2006, when I was just 14 years old. At the time, I didn't know the song existed, and it wouldn't become a part of my life for several years to come. Fast forward to 2013, when I was 21 years old. That's when I first heard "Hey There Delilah," and I was immediately captivated by its beauty. The song's poignant lyrics and soothing melody resonated deeply with me, and I found myself listening to it over and over again. What's remarkable is that even now, in 2025, I still enjoy listening to "Hey There Delilah." The song has stood the test of time, and its emotional impact hasn't diminished with repeated listens. It's a testament to the song's timeless quality and the memories that I've associated with it. Interestingly, I searched for the song on UA-cam, it wasn't recommended to me. Despite being a popular song in its time, "Hey There Delilah" seems to have flown under the algorithm's radar. Nevertheless, I'm grateful to have discovered it when I did, and I'll continue to treasure it as a beloved part of my musical journey.
When my daughter left to finish school in NY this was a song I cried to every time I heard it because I missed her so much...now she is gone forever so young at 30 my baby girl..i love you so much
I don't usually respond to comments but was sad about my brother and listening to his old favorites and saw your comment and had to say something. I don't know you but I'll cry with you and pray for you and your daughter, it's not much and is probably useless to you, I just want you to know that even though I am a stranger to you, I miss and mourn your daughter with you. The world is dimmer without her candle, but it also remembers the beauty her flame added, the lives she touched still feel her warmth, and when you speak of her we all experience her light again. So, thank you for sharing that with us.
LMAO SAME I've been listening and replaying it well doing homework and singing it at the top of my lungs and my moms like :uhhhh I might need to take her phone away
This song came out when I was in high school and had just met my boyfriend. Fourteen years later we are married, very happy and have three children. Lovely to hear again! ❤️
I was almost 14 when this came out...and now it's 14 years old. You never realize how much of a baby you are at 14 until you see 14 years go by. As far as I'm concerned, there are no years when we're kids -- we just go to school, worry about homework and tests, play and hang out with friends, there is no concept of time other than the first and last days of school. We didn't care about time. Now we actively see time - dreading Monday at work, wishing it's Friday, for some it's seeing your own kids grow up, our parents getting old, experiencing relationships and counting anniversaries. If there's any 14 year olds in the comments - cherish your youth. Life goes fast once you graduate college.
Wtf that’s crazy life’s short so make sure to do the things you want. Talk to that girl start that business have kids cause one day you will be saying goodbye to this earth so make sure to enjoy the time you have on it
It was the time when I picked a guitar from shop and I had a beautiful girlfriend for whom I wanted to play.. later on Guitar took me on another road to life which seems more unpredictable like a dream.. I feel it's gift and a beautiful life..❤ love this song makes me remind of who I am gives strength.
I’m a Brit but I have so much respect for what you’ve done and your dedication to keep everyone happy and healthy, I’m sorry for what you have gone through or what your currently going through, keep going man we all have too many thanks to give to you and your men that we just can’t express in words but to put what I have said simply. Thank you brother.
I used to listen to this song everyday while getting ready for school. I don’t know why but it used to always bring me peace and I would start my day with it. 14 years later this is still such a beautiful song
This used to be me and my dad's song. He would sing it to me on the phone when he was thousands of miles away for work. He hasn't been apart of my life for 9 years, and for so long, I was unable to listen to this without crying. I still get emotional hearing it, but I'm finally able to listen to it fully. I know that this song is about him and his love, but I was my dad's love (not in a gross way bc I know how y'all be thinking) I haven't had a father figure for over half of my life, I just wish I could have experienced that with him
I can't imagine what it's like not having a father figure. But I do know what it's like to lose somebody. You have memories of him and connections like this song, never let go of them. Even if he's not there these emotional links bring you closer to him, even if it doesn't make lot of sense. What the song itself is about isn't important. It's a piece of art and therefore whatever emotions you have asociated with it, those are the important aspects of that art. What anyone else thinks isn't as important as what it means to you. I wish you that this connection help you overcome difficulties of life, so that your father will keep being part of your life, even if not personaly.
I've lived without a father too, I wish you all the best. Keep strong, maybe you have or can find a partner to share that magic with again, or even a child of your own if you ever choose to have one

This song came out 13, almost 14 years ago. I wonder how Delilah is, did she ever finish school? Is her life the way she imagined it to be 13 years ago? Time passes, people come and go, we love and we lose but some memories are frozen in time where they exist forever
She is actually a proffesional distance runner and attended the grammy award show where this song was nominated to best song of the year in 2008, as a guest of Higgenson. Her name is Delilah DiCrescenzo, and they actually never dated.
After I learned about the backstory behind “Hey there Delilah” from Plain White T’s, I was moved to tears when I played the guitar singing the song. The lead singer( Tom Higgenson) met this girl Delilah, a university student at a party, and he immediately fell for her, even if she had a boyfriend at that time. He decided to write a song for her, although he didn’t really know her very well. The whole song is pretty much based on his imagination of New York City and how the long distance relationship would be. The song became a big hit in 2007, and it got nominated for Grammy Award in 2008. Delilah attended the Grammy award show with Tom, only as a friend. There is absolutely nothing romantic happened between them. Delilah was bothered by the song and by the disappointed fans of the band for quite some time. She did nothing wrong, after all, it is perfectly fine to be not interested and not feel the same way for someone. And it is not Tom Higgenson’s fault either, although it is kinda creepy to write songs for someone who was already taken. Real life is not always like a fairytale, and in most cases, there is no happy ending to it. As an artist, you can write most beautiful poems or songs that may last in history for hundreds of years, however, it can’t change the fact that he/she is simply not into you. The song tells the long distance relationship story that didn’t exist between Tom and Delilah, but it can always be someone’s story. In 2012, my first girlfriend and I went to different cities for universities. I still remembered the distance between us is 1241 km( 776 miles), which sounds like millions of miles to the 19-year-old of us with no cars nor extra cash for train/plane tickets. We hoped we can work out the long-distance relationship. However, it only lasted for months. It was a quite peaceful breakup. Many years passed, we never talked to each other, and we both ended up in US. I was in Davis California, and she was and still is in New York City. When I made the last minute escape trip to New York City 3 years ago on New Year’s Eve, she texted me and asked me out, and we had a dinner and some drinks near Columbia university, like two old friends. We were both single then, and we talked about those days when we were kids and laughed at the interesting moments we had before. When the night ended, we hugged goodbye, and we were back to the stranger mode. We both knew, we had our chances years ago, it didn’t work out then , and it wouldn’t work out now. Sometimes I wish there actually were some parallel universes, and in one of them, we all can have the happy endings. Maybe then, we can feel better about those regrets. Or, life is beautiful because of existence of those regrets, which reminds us to always cherish every moment and every one who appeared in our life?
@@noodles2eat I like to hope one day it won't. That it would be a roadtrip song to sing like fools and cry to. You can't expect the other person to wait for you but there's always that hope.
@@13Knives1 I'm feeling very strongly that although things may move very slow, it will all work out in due time. The universe is working its magic, always.
I sang this song with my mom back when we still drove a 1992 Ford Tempo, she loved it so much even though she barely knew English she would still her best to sing it. She passed in Dec of ‘09 and I still remember being with her in our little run down car driving on the highway. Miss you mama ❤
I remember when I was really little and I didn’t see my dad a lot because he was in rehab I would cry every time I heard this song because it reminded me of him . He died last month , I miss him
pov: it's 2021, you're 20 years old now, sitting in your room wondering where it all went wrong. you play this song while you lay on your bed wishing it 2008 again and you think of how life was perfect when you were younger it was at this moment you finally understood the saying, "ignorance is bliss".
This hits different when all the friends you thought would stay with you forever have drifted away, times changed, your favorite shows are gone. People come and go, you know that the friends you have now will leave you eventually and you'll die alone.. sigh Pain.
Kinda think I will be at that point in a few years. Im about to finish school and even though I have 2 really good friends and many good friends, I think I will loose them in the future. But thats my fault I'd guess because I am just not a person that likes to spend a lot of time with people I dont really like, and I think the right people are still missing in my life.
I hope and pray you find peace in the journey of life. Sounds cheesey, but its true, no matter who comes in and who goes out of my life, I have a friend in Jesus. Read the New Testament, and just ask out loud for Him to meet you there.
So here's how I got here. I saw a dude decking a pretty pristine plain white t-shirt, and my mind wandered. I searched the name on UA-cam and here I am, reading comments and wondering why this beautiful man and the real delilah never dated. Damilare from Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria.
Growing up my dad worked overseas for long stretches of time, he’d call me everyday and some days when we really missed each other he’d sing this song to me. I just recently got married and moved across the country with my husband. Even though my dad and I talk everyday on the phone I still miss him terribly. Listening to this song brings me comfort. Oct. 2021 and this song is still one of my favorites!
My dog’s name was Delilah. She was put down today. Not sure if I can ever listen to this song again without crying. Edit: 3 weeks later and now this song gives me happy memories of 14 years with a loyal family dog.
This song is so old but it gives nostalgia. When I was 4 years old my dad used to pick me up from daycare and he would buy me bread from a bakery and I remember I heard this song in a radio. I’m 15 years old and going to 10th grade next year. To whomever is read this your awesome don’t give up on life and have a nice day. Edit- wow I didn’t even know I wrote this comment, this song makes me nostalgic, I am about to be 17 in Jan 5, quarantine has been hard but I hope everyone here is doing okay. Will update next time in Senior Year, I am a junior in Hs btw
The guy that i loved many years ago died yesterday😢this was the song he sang to me on the phone.A sweet guy that id never had but has a place in my heart.
I just didn't find the lyrics here :) 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 is actually beautiful, I've never heard it until this year. I was born in 2008 and this song was released around 2005-2007 but I still find it nostalgic lmao

I was really young, maybe around first grade, when this song came out. I had this ragged old stuffed animal beagle as long as I remember. When the song came out, I was so in love with it whenever it played in my mom's car that I named the stuffed animal Delilah. And yes I still have that stuffed animal to this day. some will see it as immature. But when I feel it's old fur and hear this song after more than ten years, it gives me the nostalgia of the young carefree days. If you read this thx I guess.
Nothing wrong with holding on to innocence.
So sweet! Who doesn't miss their carefree days?
That’s beautiful. So cute! This song reminds me of my trip to Washington at the start of this year ❤️

He tried to woo her by saying he will write a song about her, she clearly stated she has a bf. He didn't care. He made the song about her and in an interview she stated that she felt like a wench because she thought she led him on (she didn't, he just didn't care and wanted her even though she has a bf) and even said that the song turned her life in a nightmare cause wherever she went it'd be playing, the pool, party, club, whatever.

So now I listen to this song for the first time in a long time all these years later, and it hits differently now. We had our ups and downs. I still wish her luck even when I miss her.

The most relatable comment I’ve ever seen
This was my sister's favorite song I learned to play it for her when I was around 8 or 9. She died in 2007 lost her battle to cancer. My first child is due Jan 11th 2025, and we have decided to name her Delilah Marie Taylor.
Sorry man but that’s a good name
Be strong man💪
Plain White T’s hit, “Hey There Delilah,” was in the running for two Grammy awards, and people are still talking about the girl from the popular tune. Delilah DiCrescenzo, a very successful professional runner who just missed out on the 2012 Olympic Team, will be featured in the ESPN The Magazine’s February 18 music issue, in which she tells the story of how she ended up in the song for the umpteenth time:
She was back home in Chicago while on break from school at Columbia University. She had a boyfriend at school, but met a guy at a party who was in this band called the Plain White T’s, and the musician told her he was going to write a song about her. A few months later, Tom Higgenson visited her house to drop off a CD. One of the tracks was called “Hey There Delilah.”
She was flattered. Then the song got big. Real big. Nominated for a Grammy big. On February 8th, 2008, she attended the Grammys with the band. The song didn’t win, but she described the day as one of the best of her life. In years since, the song still follows her. And that’s okay. The song didn’t get Tom Higgenson the girl, she is still with the same boyfriend from college , but they’ve both enjoyed the ride.

The song "Hey There Delilah" was released in 2006, when I was just 14 years old. At the time, I didn't know the song existed, and it wouldn't become a part of my life for several years to come.
Fast forward to 2013, when I was 21 years old. That's when I first heard "Hey There Delilah," and I was immediately captivated by its beauty. The song's poignant lyrics and soothing melody resonated deeply with me, and I found myself listening to it over and over again.
What's remarkable is that even now, in 2025, I still enjoy listening to "Hey There Delilah." The song has stood the test of time, and its emotional impact hasn't diminished with repeated listens. It's a testament to the song's timeless quality and the memories that I've associated with it.
Interestingly, I searched for the song on UA-cam, it wasn't recommended to me. Despite being a popular song in its time, "Hey There Delilah" seems to have flown under the algorithm's radar. Nevertheless, I'm grateful to have discovered it when I did, and I'll continue to treasure it as a beloved part of my musical journey.
When my daughter left to finish school in NY this was a song I cried to every time I heard it because I missed her so much...now she is gone forever so young at 30 my baby girl..i love you so much
I don't usually respond to comments but was sad about my brother and listening to his old favorites and saw your comment and had to say something. I don't know you but I'll cry with you and pray for you and your daughter, it's not much and is probably useless to you, I just want you to know that even though I am a stranger to you, I miss and mourn your daughter with you. The world is dimmer without her candle, but it also remembers the beauty her flame added, the lives she touched still feel her warmth, and when you speak of her we all experience her light again. So, thank you for sharing that with us.
Thank you for your kindness
Damn may she rest well.
How’d she pass
I hope you Have a great day dawn

I was almost 14 when this came out...and now it's 14 years old. You never realize how much of a baby you are at 14 until you see 14 years go by. As far as I'm concerned, there are no years when we're kids -- we just go to school, worry about homework and tests, play and hang out with friends, there is no concept of time other than the first and last days of school. We didn't care about time. Now we actively see time - dreading Monday at work, wishing it's Friday, for some it's seeing your own kids grow up, our parents getting old, experiencing relationships and counting anniversaries. If there's any 14 year olds in the comments - cherish your youth. Life goes fast once you graduate college.

This used to be me and my dad's song. He would sing it to me on the phone when he was thousands of miles away for work. He hasn't been apart of my life for 9 years, and for so long, I was unable to listen to this without crying. I still get emotional hearing it, but I'm finally able to listen to it fully. I know that this song is about him and his love, but I was my dad's love (not in a gross way bc I know how y'all be thinking) I haven't had a father figure for over half of my life, I just wish I could have experienced that with him
Starae Beauty this song has different meaning for everyone but your one is probably the hardest to hear :(
I can't imagine what it's like not having a father figure. But I do know what it's like to lose somebody. You have memories of him and connections like this song, never let go of them. Even if he's not there these emotional links bring you closer to him, even if it doesn't make lot of sense.
What the song itself is about isn't important. It's a piece of art and therefore whatever emotions you have asociated with it, those are the important aspects of that art. What anyone else thinks isn't as important as what it means to you.
I wish you that this connection help you overcome difficulties of life, so that your father will keep being part of your life, even if not personaly.
I've lived without a father too, I wish you all the best. Keep strong, maybe you have or can find a partner to share that magic with again, or even a child of your own if you ever choose to have one

She is actually a proffesional distance runner and attended the grammy award show where this song was nominated to best song of the year in 2008, as a guest of Higgenson. Her name is Delilah DiCrescenzo, and they actually never dated.
@@yaboialex8862 Hold on, man, why are you mad? I was just making a joke, sorry
This song will forever holdba special spot in my hearts playlist❤
After I learned about the backstory behind “Hey there Delilah” from Plain White T’s, I was moved to tears when I played the guitar singing the song. The lead singer( Tom Higgenson) met this girl Delilah, a university student at a party, and he immediately fell for her, even if she had a boyfriend at that time. He decided to write a song for her, although he didn’t really know her very well. The whole song is pretty much based on his imagination of New York City and how the long distance relationship would be. The song became a big hit in 2007, and it got nominated for Grammy Award in 2008. Delilah attended the Grammy award show with Tom, only as a friend. There is absolutely nothing romantic happened between them. Delilah was bothered by the song and by the disappointed fans of the band for quite some time. She did nothing wrong, after all, it is perfectly fine to be not interested and not feel the same way for someone. And it is not Tom Higgenson’s fault either, although it is kinda creepy to write songs for someone who was already taken. Real life is not always like a fairytale, and in most cases, there is no happy ending to it. As an artist, you can write most beautiful poems or songs that may last in history for hundreds of years, however, it can’t change the fact that he/she is simply not into you.
The song tells the long distance relationship story that didn’t exist between Tom and Delilah, but it can always be someone’s story. In 2012, my first girlfriend and I went to different cities for universities. I still remembered the distance between us is 1241 km( 776 miles), which sounds like millions of miles to the 19-year-old of us with no cars nor extra cash for train/plane tickets. We hoped we can work out the long-distance relationship. However, it only lasted for months. It was a quite peaceful breakup. Many years passed, we never talked to each other, and we both ended up in US. I was in Davis California, and she was and still is in New York City. When I made the last minute escape trip to New York City 3 years ago on New Year’s Eve, she texted me and asked me out, and we had a dinner and some drinks near Columbia university, like two old friends. We were both single then, and we talked about those days when we were kids and laughed at the interesting moments we had before. When the night ended, we hugged goodbye, and we were back to the stranger mode. We both knew, we had our chances years ago, it didn’t work out then , and it wouldn’t work out now.
Sometimes I wish there actually were some parallel universes, and in one of them, we all can have the happy endings. Maybe then, we can feel better about those regrets. Or, life is beautiful because of existence of those regrets, which reminds us to always cherish every moment and every one who appeared in our life?

Edit- wow I didn’t even know I wrote this comment, this song makes me nostalgic, I am about to be 17 in Jan 5, quarantine has been hard but I hope everyone here is doing okay. Will update next time in Senior Year, I am a junior in Hs btw
thanks bro
Thank you Emiliano, You too
I feel this too, I’m going into Year 11 this year (UK 🇬🇧) and can remember this song as clear as day
I appreciate you.
Same to you, brother.
The guy that i loved many years ago died yesterday😢this was the song he sang to me on the phone.A sweet guy that id never had but has a place in my heart.
I just didn't find the lyrics here :)
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
Nice
Nice
Niceee
Niceee week
Rlly niceeee

@@briangadow7315 nostalga my friend i listened to this when i was at uni and now im 33 :-(
I was 10 months old when this song came out and I loved it for as long as I can remember
Imagine Ppl being born in 2019 not knowing why this song is so great and nostalgic
i was born in 2002 and just got this in recommended, just the music by itself is really soothing, even though you dont feel nostalgia
This song is actually beautiful, I've never heard it until this year. I was born in 2008 and this song was released around 2005-2007 but I still find it nostalgic lmao
I would like but its 69
