lyrics

We used to sing hallelujah
Like it would do something
Now we sing only to the moon
It's all going too soon
We used to sing hallelujah
We used to sing hallelujah
Now we just look up
And see the stars
Even Mars
You can see the stars
And Venus

Wake me up once more
Broken on the floor
Laughing at the wall
Laughing at the wall
I’m climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Crawling up the door
In frame or not at all
Behind the lens
You will have

Have your way again
Let us just pretend
You and I as friends
Let us just pretend
That nothing has an end
We’ve been here all along
The east to the west coast
From shore to shore
Surely you must know now
Surely you must know
You must know by now
What you can’t figure out

I remember singing "hallelujah"
With my arm stretched up
Stretched out
Reaching for an answer
Knowing the unknowable
Figuring out this
Figuring out
Life and death
Breath to breath
It’s crystal meth
Fire in my chest
Burning like the rest
Like the rest

We used to sing
But now I never do
I've never lived this long
What happens next?
What happens next?
What happens now?
What happens now?
What happens now?
What happens now?
Just let me out
Watch me fall
Watch me fall

We used to sing hallelujah
Like it would do something
Now we sing only to the moon
It's all going too soon
We used to sing hallelujah
We used to sing hallelujah
Now we just look up
And see the stars
Even Mars
You can see the stars
And Venus

We used to sing "hold me closer tiny dancer"
Now we barely sing at all
When we do we need an answer
To the question of it all
42 or 24
Glass half full, there's plenty more
We used to sing "hold me closer tiny dancer"
Now you never sing at all
I wonder if you know the answer
Wonder if you know
Wonder if you know

I used to sing "eaten by the drums, eaten by the drums"
But I don't know what that means anymore
Something to do with gravity
Something to do with me
Something like this spirit in me
Something like the breeze
Something inside of me
Something that I see
Someone coming for me

So hold me closer, hold me fast
Was there really this magic in your past?
Or is it just the way it always was?
So hold me closer, hold me fast
This magic spell in my past
Somewhere lost in the dark
Singing songs about what life’s about
And I don’t know, really, anything

Hallelujah
Hold me closer
And hold me fast
Nothing lasts
Hallelujah
Flooby doo and flooby dee
If only you told me what you see
What’s that got to do with gravity?
