Taylor Swift - Hey Stephen Meaning
Song Released: 2008
Hey Stephen Lyrics
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's...

1TOP RATED
#1 top rated interpretation:Classical but - like every Taylor song - funny and catchy love song.
The song is about a guy, Stephen Barker Lile, singer of the country band Love and Theft, who Taylor had a huge crush on, but she never told him. So, she said, she wrote a song for him - name included - and let him know about her feelings.
In the song, Taylor tries to describe the way she sees him different and shining, more than any other boy.
She talks about her hidden feelings that she tries hard to repress, but she can't help loving him: she's dying to kiss him in the rain, and she says she'll always be there for him because she's different from all the other girl: she wrote a song for him too. -
I love this song because I can relate to it, as every girl in the history of the universe, I have the biggest crush on my guy, Nathaniel. I like him for all the reasons in this song. I made a Taylor Swift playlist to tell him I like him, this is definably going to be in it!

You guys have come up with all the good answers :) so i'm just gonna write the lyrics:
Hey Stephen I know looks can be deceiving but I know light in you, as we walked we were talking I did'nt say half the things I wanted to, of all the girls tossing rocks at your window, I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold, Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing I don't always have to be alone
//CHORUS// Cuz I can't help it if you look like an angel, can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so, come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you, can't help it if there's no one else, mmm, I can't help myself
Hey Stephen I've been holding back this feeling so I got some things to say to you, I've seen it all so I thought but I've never seen nobody shine the way you do, the way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name, it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change, Hey Stephen why are people always leaving I think you and I should stay the same
//Chorus//Cuz I can't help it if you look like an angel, can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so, come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you, can't help it if there's no one else, mmm I can't help myself
They're dimming the street lights, your perfect for me, why aren't you here tonight, I'm waiting alone now, so come on and cone out and pull me, near, shine, shine, shine
Hey Stephen I could give you fifty reasons why I should be the one you choose, all those other girls, well, they're beautiful, but would they write a song for you? (hahaha)
//CHORUS//Cuz I can't help it if you look like an angel, can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so, come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you, can't help it if there's no one else, mmm I can't help myse-e-elf, if you look like an angel, can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so, come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you, can't help it if there's no one else, mmm I can't help myself
Myself, can't help myself, can't help myself, ah, ah ,ah. -
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to
She says that even if Stephen may be good-looking, she saw something good about him. She is an acquaintance of this person, and they have chances to talk. But despite that, she doesn't end up saying the everything she really wanted to tell him. Probably because Stephen doesn't know she likes him.
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
This Stephen person is adored by many girls, probably 'flirty' girls since they 'toss rocks at his window'. However, unlike those other girls, she won't give up on him and she is just always there for him.
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone
Maybe, Stephen usually attends to her in situations. She is probably used to being alone, but that changed when she met Stephen.
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Blah blah blah. The chorus just says how handsome Stephen is, and how much she has been captivated by him. She can't help herself from falling in love with him.
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do
She is trying to resist her feelings for him, but that obviously fails otherwise. She depicts Stephen as a one-of-a-kind person. He is definitely someone that is appealing. There is something special about him, that made him shine above everyone else.
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same
She likes the current Stephen and she doesn't want him to change. Since she is always alone, people always leave her. Instead, she doesn't want that to happen between them, and wants to cherish what they have right now.
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Now, she describes him as the 'perfect one' for her. She is hoping and longing for Stephen, that he may also fall in love with her.
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you?
This simply means that she may not have the looks for him to like her, but she has something else that makes her stand out from the other girls who only have their looks to be proud of. -
This is a really catchy and cute love song :)
It is about Taylor knowing she is the right girl out of all the many girls that want this one guy 'Stephen' who is really Stephen Barker Liles. She is too afraid to say her real feelings, so instead writes them in a song. She is adorable in the way she describes how much he shines and how amazing he is. -
"Hey Stephen" is Taylor's way of telling Stephen Barker Liles, the lead singer of Love and Theft, that she has a crush on him. Taylor Swift has never confirmed this, but is apparent, because the name of his band, Love and Theft, is encoded in the lyrics.This song is easy to relate to, because almost everyone has been in love with someone before and been afraid to come out and say it to him/her.

It's about a boy who has all the girls in the school loving him, including you. You know that out of all of them, you'll be the best, most devoting one for him (of all the girls throwing rocks at your window, i'll be the one standing there, even when it's cold.) You are too afraid to tell him how you feel.
