Just give a little twist, little turn,
Keep on looking in the right direction baby.
I'm alive with the lights with the lies,
But I kept on building it,
Stack it up, little architect you're crazy,
White shirt, black dress tie,
Dressed to the nine times too many times.
I couldn't wait to get out of the night life,
It's a straight lie.

[chorus]
Just calm down,
The trauma's on the inside,
My line's been drawn.
I don't want to be wasting time.

Do you think that you'd call it crazy?
Contrary, and I shine amazing,
Aging process called it quits,
And the quicksand I trudged through and everything i
Meant to say so,
So said the young ones, the dumb ones, and "stupid"
You called it,
Ut I called it flawless.
Played out and fade out, I planned it.
Pan left and right, set the curtain.

[chorus]

My ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah".
Oh god, I think i've really changed,
But she will love me all the same.
My dear, it's all for you and I will pay my dues,
I owe you some eight years,
It's coming to you.

Don't say "calm down" and "don't quit this town",
I left 'cause I was bored,
And what might be in store.
Don't make a sound,
'Cause I'll be round.

I wish you could buckle up and take a chance,
You know I really do, and you really do.

Just come along.
Time's up, life's up, but I won't go.

My ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah".
Oh god, I think i've really changed,
But she will love me all the same.
My dear, it's all for you and I will pay my dues,
I owe you some eight years,
It's coming to you.
Hallelujah.

I've left town,
And I won't come home.
Ohio, I don't know, michigindiana,
California, where's home?

Why, oh why, if eyes collide,
Why won't it feel the same, oh why oh?
Wonderstands.
Why, oh why, if words are right,
Why won't it feel the same oh, why oh?

So now I won't play games,
And I won't change.

My ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah".
Oh god, I think i've really changed,
But she will love me all the same.
My dear, it's all for you and I will pay my dues,
I owe you some eight years,
It's coming to you.

My dream and now I'm getting out,
I'm screaming "hallelujah",
Oh god I think i've really changed,
But she will love me all the same.
Darling it's all for you,
And I will pay my dues.
I'm counting 4, 3, 2, 1.
