I watched you watching Dylan like you were 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 in 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
And 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 were watching the stars
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 know
Now that I'm older I finally see
You were the worst and the best thing that happened to me
Oh, show me the light
Show me the light
I'll take it from here, honey
Oh, show me the light
Show me the light
And I can take it from here, honey
