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

The road outside my house
Is paved with good intentions
Hired 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
A teenage vow in a parking lot
'Til tonight do us part
I sing the blues and you swallow them too

My words are my faith, to hell with our good name
Remix of your guts, your insides x-rayed
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 a 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
A teenage vow in a parking lot
'Til tonight do us part
I sing the blues and you swallow them too

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah (hum hallelujah)
Hallelujah, hallelujah (hum hallelujah)

A teenage vow in a parking lot
'Til tonight do us part
I sing the blues and swallow them too

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you, just how you looked in the light
A teenage vow in a parking lot
'Til tonight do us part

Vow in a parking lot (hum hallelujah)
'Til l tonight do us part
Teenage vow in a parking lot
'Til tonight do us part
I sing the blues and you swallow them too
