"The Opposite Of Hallelujah" lyrics
"The Opposite Of Hallelujah"
I took my sister down to the ocean
But the ocean made me feel stupid
Those words of wisdom I had prepared
All seemed to vanish into thin air
Into the waves I stared
I picked up a seashell
To illustrate my homelessness
But a crab crawled out of it
Making it useless
And all my metaphors fell flat
Down on the rocks where we sat
She asked where are you at?
But, sister, it's the opposite of Hallelujah
It's the opposite of being you
You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
We made our way home on the bikes we had borrowed
I still never told you about unstoppable sorrow
You still think I'm someone to look up to
I still don't know anything about you
Is it in you too?
You've got so much to live for, little sister
You've got so much to live for
But, sister, it's the opposite of Hallelujah
It's the opposite of being you
You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through

Tell me that you love me more

That is what my youth was for
Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more

We were greeting the sun
Before long
And you live with someone
I live with somebody too
Leave it there

No one waving for me just the shoreline receding
Ticket in my hand, thinking wish I didn't hand it in

Looking out on Coney Island
Under more stars than

Our hair in the air
Our lips blue from cotton candy

Du kommer fortsätta, finns inte mycket mer att säga nu
Vi två hör hemma i ett rum med inga andra
