It's all a game of this or that
Now versus then
"Better off" against "words for wear"
And you're someone
Who knows someone who knows someone
I once knew
And I just want to be a part of this

The road outside my house
Is paved with good intentions
Hire a construction crew
Cause it's hell on the engine
And you are the dreamer
And we are the dream
I could write it better than you ever felt it

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light
Our teenage vow in a parking lot
Till tonight do us part
I've seen the blues
And I've swallowed them too

My words are my fate to hell
With our good name
We mix up your guts
Your insight x-rays, and
One day we'll get nostalgic for disaster
we're a bull, your ears are just a china shop

I love you in the same way
There's chapel in the hospital
one foot in your bedroom
And one foot out the door
Sometimes we take chances
Sometimes we take pills
I could write it better than you ever felt it

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light
Our teenage vow in a parking lot
Till tonight, do us part
I've seen the blues
And I've swallowed them too

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu
(Hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah)
Hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah)

Our teenage vow in a parking lot
Till tonight do us par
I've seen the blues
And swallowed them too
So

Hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light

Our teenage vow in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah)
Till tonight do us part
Our teenage vow in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah)
Till tonight do us part
Our teenage vow in a parking lot
Till tonight do us part
I've seen the blues
And I've swallowed them too
