To pursue that dream, she moved to Conshohocken, Pa., where she trains full-time while working as an assistant track and cross-country coach at Bryn Mawr.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 Times 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'd just laugh along because we'd know That none of them have felt this way Delilah, I can promise you That by the time that 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 know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there, Delilah, here's to you This one's 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 oh, woah, woah Oh woah, oh Oh The lyrics of this song were written for American long distance runner Delilah DiCrescenzo by lead singer of the band, Tom Higginson. However, the narrator lovingly avoids falling into ‘complaining mode’. A good but not great runner in high school and college, she gave the 3,000-meter steeplechase a try in 2006 and found that she was good enough in the grueling race to think about trying to make the Olympic team this year. Plain White T’s Hey There Delilah is song about a long distance love relationship with all the pitfalls involved. A graduate of Columbia University, she had returned to her native Chicago to work. That was when Higgenson performed the song on TODAY and told Ann Curry the story of unrequited love that had inspired it.ĭiCrescenzo, meanwhile, remained all but anonymous. But it wasn’t until last summer that it broke out into the mainstream and began climbing the charts until it was the nation’s top single. Higgenson and his band played the song for years at club dates and concerts, and it became a favorite with their fans. “I had a boyfriend at the time, so I really didn’t believe him.” “I thought he was just being flirtatious and leading me along,” the 24-year-old athlete told Lauer and Vieira.
Higgenson was smitten and even though she had a boyfriend, he told her he was going to write a song about her.
It’s been a long chase both for her and for Tom Higgenson, lead singer for the Plain White T’s, who wrote the song five years ago after being introduced to DiCrescenzo by a friend.
