Intro: Riff 1
Verse 1: Riff 1
We might kiss when we are alone.
When nobody's watching,
we might take it home.
We might make out when nobody's there.
It's not that we're scared,
it's just that it's delicate
Chorus: Riff 2
So why do you fill my sorrow
with the words you've borrowed
from the only place you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
if it means nothing to ya?
Why do you sing with me at all?
Verse 2: Riff 1
We might live like never before.
When there's nothing to give,
well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place.
The look on your face is delicate
Chorus: Riff 2
So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
if it means nothing to ya?
Why do you sing with me at all?
Chorus: Riff 1
So why do you fill my sorrow
with the words you've borrowed
from the only place you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
if it means nothing to ya?
Why do you sing with me at all?
