[Verse 1]
So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you tell me who you are, what you like?
What's on your mind, if I get it right?
How I love that no one knows
And this secret's all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretend, it's like it never ends
This way no one has to know

[Chorus]
Even a half smile would help slow down the time
If I could call you half mine
Maybe this is the safest way to go
We're singing
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya hey ya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya hey ya
You'll go back to him and then I'll go back to her

[Verse 2]
So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you give your little heart?
Say the word?
I'll do it too, just me and you
This way everyone would know
Cause this secret's all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretends like it never ends
This way no one has to know
[Chorus]
Even the half smile would help slow down the time
If I could call you half mine
Maybe this is the safest way to go
We're singing
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya hey ya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya hey ya
You'll go back to him and then I'll go back to her

[Verse 3]
So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you tell me who you are, what you like?
What's on your mind, if I get it right?
How I love that no one knows
This secret's all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretend it's like it never ends
How I love that no one knows

[Bridge]
Advertise my secret
I don't really need it
I know you can feel this
So advertise my secret
I don't really need it
I know you can feel this
So advertise my
Advertise my secret
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
We're singing
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya hey ya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya hey ya
You'll go back to him and then I'll go back to her

[Ending]
If I stand in front of a speeding car
Don't know who you are
Don't know who you are
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya hey ya
You'll go back to him and then I'll go back to her
