Back Story:

"This was written as a message to young people to be weary of the dangers out there. When we're young, as I was then too when I wrote this, we can be really overconfident and naive and are putting ourselves in risky situations we could have easily avoided, sometimes even asking for trouble. So this was written from the perspective of me and a girl who I might have had a coffee with who I was moderately interested in but even more so concerned for her wellbeing and her overly trusting nature which I could see a random guy in a nightclub perhaps threatening to take advantage of that. The "Don't crash your bullet train" line summarises it so well how we're often there are young and foolish who take their youth for granted and living life in the fast lane and it being like everyone bracing for a setback to occur except for her."

Lyrics:

Hey there

Hey there hey there
Little lady
Hey there hey there
Little lady little lady

Hey there little lady
You shouldn't be alone
You need one to protect you
From the terrible unknown
Hey there little lady
I'll teach you how to fly
To reach the man for only
Happiness we will cry

Hey there hey there
Little lady
Hey there hey there
Little lady little lady

Hey there little lady
You shouldn't be alone
You need one to protect you
From the terrible unknown
Hey there little lady
Why do you act so strange
You have so much going
Don't crash your bullet train
