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
 x4 with violin part
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
 repeat till end.
