  • Hello, hello again
    Hello, hello again

    You might have forgot
    The journey ends
    You tied your knots
    And you made your friends
    You left the scene
    Without a trace
    One hand on the ground
    One hand in space

    Oh, you passed on mercy
    You tried the rest
    You gave your body
    You gave your best

    Staring at the green door
    Living in the sky
    You don't want to know it
    You just want to fly

    Hello, (hello) hello again
    Hello, (hello) hello again

    I know (I know you're a dreamer)
    Who's under the gun
    I know (I know you're a dreamer)
    Who's only just begun

    (Hello) hello, hello again
    (I'm saying) hello, (hello) hello again

    Oh, and when there's nothing
    Nothing left to lose
    You leave it all
    To fade to blue
    (Oh, yeah, yeah)

    (Wanna feel) electric
    (Wanna feel) loose
    (You wanna be) eclectic
    You wanna call a truce
    (Look) at the profile
    Staring at the flame
    (Waiting) for the sunshine
    Standing in the rain

    (Hello) hello again
    (I said hello) hello, (hello) hello again

    (I said hello) hello, (hello) hello again
    Hello (uh oh), hello again

    Hello, hello
    Hello, hello Writer/s: Ric Ocasek

  • Mondo Sinistro from Chapel Hill NcAs it says at the top, this could be about a habit of futile thrill-seeking. But it also sounds like it could be about someone's relationship with a flight attendant.
  • Amay from Edison, NjSounds like Def Leppard in the begining. Awesome song.
  • Chris from Charleston, ScThis was used as the background music for a Nick at Nite's commerical to introduce their "Revenge of the 80's" sitcom marathon that they had going on in 2001-2002.
  • Howard from St. Louis Park, MnThis song was very popular with high school dancelines.
  • Dee from Indianapolis, InGreat tune. I never felt it got the recognition it deserved though.
