Hum Hallelujah

(Album: Postcards (From Chicago) - 2019)

It's all a game of this or that, now versus then
Better off again, worse for wear
And you're someone, you know someone
Not someone I once knew
I just wanna be a part of that

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, we are dream
I could write it better than you've 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 swallow them too

My words are my faith, to hell with our good name
We mix up 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 a 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 swallow them too

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