The Opposite Of Hallelujah Lyrics - Night Falls Over Kortedala - Jens Lekman

I took my sister down to the ocean 

But the ocean made me feel stupid 

Those words of wisdom I had prepared 

All seemed to vanish into thin air 

Into the waves I stared 

I picked up a seashell 

To illustrate my homelessness 

But a crab crawled out of it 

Making it useless 

And all my metaphors fell flat 

Down on the rocks where we sat 

She asked where are you at? 

But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah 

It's the opposite of being you 

You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you 

You don't know what I'm going through 

You don't know what I'm going through 

You don't know what I'm going through 

You don't know what I'm going through 

We made our way home on the bikes we had borrowed 

I still never told you about unstoppable sorrow 

You still think I'm someone to look up to 

I still don't know anything about you 

Is it in you too? 

You've got so much to live for, little sister 

You've got so much to live for 

But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah 

It's the opposite of being you 

You don't know cause it just passes right through you 

You don't know what I'm going through 

You don't know what I'm going through 

You don't know what I'm going through 

You don't know what I'm going through 

You don't know what I'm going through
