So here I am in the box room of Cedarwood Road,
age 18
trying to write a perfect song
for a perfect girl
called Alison Stewart keeps telling
me she's not interested in perfect,
which I guess means
I'm in for a chance.
You got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I've been
You've got eyes that can see right through me
You're not afraid of anything they've seen
I was told that I would feel nothing
The first time
I don't know
How these cuts heal, but in you
I found a ride
There is a light you can always see There is a world
we can always be
There is a dark
you shouldn't doubt There is a light,
don't let it go out
And this is a song,
a song for someone A song,
a song for someone
You led me
into a conversation A conversation only we could make
You breakin' into my imagination
Whatever's in there it's yours to take
I was told I'd feel
nothing
The first time
you were slow
to heal
But this could be
the night
There is a light you can always see
There is a world we can always be
There is a dark
within and without
There is a light,
don't let it go out
And this is a song, a song for someone
And
I'm a long way from your hill on Calvary
I'm a long way from where I was and where I need to be
There is a light you can always see
There is a world we can always be
I know there are plenty of reasons to doubt
But if there is a light, don't let it go out
There is a light,
don't let it go out
