You don't have to sleep outside, i'll rest my ear against the window
Wait for you to get home and I'll unlock the door
When we were young we were somber and lost
We went looking for god, but he found us
He's saying, "You don't have to talk so loud, because I'm sitting right beside you
Watching tears as they fall, they're getting swallowed by the floor
You said 'lord I'm a hopeless case, because these ghosts were never holy.'
I can't wait to tell you I love you anyways"
Hallelujah
So I'll head for the fire escape
Because these walls are getting darker
And the taller I stand, the harder it is to breathe
I stumble along and reach my arms toward the door
I won't need these songs of redemption anymore
So I'll aim for the moon and I'll
Watch the light reflect off the pavement
And I'll smile at the clouds as they try to banish the stars above
I'm praying "Lord I can hear the wolves howling off in the distance"
He says "son, don't you know that I love you?..."
Hallelujah
