Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watchin', 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
[Verse 2]
So why do you fill my sorrows with the words you borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothin' to ya?
Why do you sing with me at all?
[Verse 3]
We might live like never before
When there's nothin' to give
Well, how can we ask for more?
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate
[Verse 4]
So why do you fill my sorrows with the words you borrowed
From the only place that you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothin' to ya?
Why do you sing with me at all?
[Verse 5]
Why do you fill my sorrows with the words you borrowed
From the only place that you've known?
Why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothin' to ya?
Why do you sing with me at all?
