Show Me The Light

I watched you watching Dylan like you’re watching a saint
And I could not help but notice everything he is I ain’t
So I filled up every notebook I could put to my hand
Hoping that you would not notice I was a boy and not a man
Back then

Singing you to sleep and making you laugh
Gave me a reason to work on my craft
Now that I’m older I finally see
You were the worst and the best thing that happened to me

I watched you watching Jesus like you’re watching a star
Started praying you’d find room for both of us in your heart
But the more I tried the more I’d find I could not pretend
To give a damn for your religion or for all your shitty friends
Back then

Every Sunday I would sit in your row
Praying that one day you would finally notice
But now that I’m older I finally see
You were the worst and the best thing that happened to me

Show me the light
Show me the light
I’ll take it from here honey
Show me the light
Show me the light
I’ll take it from here honey
