Just give a little twist, little turn
Keep on lookin' in the right direction, baby
I'm alive with the lights, with the lies
But I kept on buildin' the buildin', stack it up
But 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
Just calm down
The trauma's on the inside
My line's been drawn
Just calm down
You know the trauma's on the inside
I don't want to be wasting time
Wasting time
Do you think that you'd call it crazy?
Contrary and I shine amazing
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 but I called it flawless
Played out and fade out, I planned it
Pan left and right, set the curtain
Just calm down
The trauma's on the inside
My line's been drawn
Just calm down
You know the trauma's on the inside
I don't want to
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
'Cause I owe you some eight years
And it's comin' to you
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, oh
And I wish you could buckle up and take a chance
You know I really do, really do
And you really, really do, whoa
Just come along
Don't say, "Calm down"
"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
Oh, oh
Just calm down
The trauma's on the inside
My line's been drawn
Just calm down
You know the trauma's on the inside
I don't want to
Why, oh, why do eyes collide?
Why won't it feel the same, oh, why, oh?
Wonder stands
Why, oh, why, if words are right,
Why won't it feel the same, oh, why, oh?
Oh
So now I won't play games
And I won't change
No
Just calm down
The trauma's on the inside
I don't want to
And just calm down
You know the trauma's on the inside
I don't want to
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
'Cause I owe you some eight years
And it's comin' to you
My dream and now I'm gettin' out
I'm screaming, 'Hallelujah'
Today's the day my life will change
It couldn't make it all the same
Darling, it's all for you
And I will pay my dues
I'm counting 4, 3, 2, 1
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I've left town and I won't come home
Ohio, I don't know, Michigindiana, California
Where's home?
