Night Falls Over Kortedala |
|
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 |
|
You don't know what I'm going through |
