The Weeks - Too Much Light Lyrics

Show us a town and lay waste to it
Show him exactly what patience meant
Don't mind the distance don't mind the cost
Just tell the driver to drop us off
Never quite knew what you'd become
Grow up soft and toughen up
Grandma said you are heaven sent
Then ask you if you knew what heaven meant

I wanna change this body
I wanna paint my face up
Wish I could stand up for you
But I'm not that tough

All I have I have because of you
Too much light for this whole world to lose
Bless yourself that's all that you can do
All I have I have because of you

Always watching what you say
Look around make sure it's safe
Never quite have been yourself
Always felt like someone else
It gets better every day
Grow up fast and move away
Wish I was there so I could help
Cause I couldn't do that by myself

I wanna change this body
I wanna paint my face up
Wish I could stand up for you
But I'm not that tough

All I have I have because of you
Too much light for this whole world to lose
Bless yourself that's all you can do
All I have I have because of you
