lyrics

it was the tallest mountain
it was the the softest sleep
it was a broken ankle
that brought you back to me.
it was the deepest ocean
it was a sea so far
it was the thing you told me
before you took the car

give up your hands to the ones you love
give them the hallelujah
give up your faith in god and love
ha ha hallelujah

you're a dewy eyed girl and you know it
if you love him why won't you just go ahead and show him
you're a mess. i thought you were an ocean
if you love him why won't you just go ahead and show him
that tempest came around and
i swore that you had drowned and
i can't believe it's true
i'm alive and so are you

give up your hands to the ones you love
give them the hallelujah
give up your faith in god and love
ha ha hallelujah
give up your hands to the ones you love
give them hallelujah
if you have faith in god and love
sing your hallelujahs
