Beautiful, simple song that should've been up here a while ago.
I have a Cfriend, swear she saw EmJesus
Hovering abAmove her lonely Fbed
She said it Cchanged her life forGever
F"Whatever wGorks" I sCaid
I sit with her changing channels
It's so hard to concentrate
I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure
She's having a better day
So I will Flay on the Chighway somewhere in FNew MexiCco
And Fwait for a Emstrange Amlight to Fcome and Gtake me Amhome
Or I will Fstand by the Cstatue and Fwait for her to Ccry
FTo see real tears that Emseem sincAmere Fonce beGfore I dCie
The other night I talked to an old flame
Who finally said why he moved on
He said I didn't have faith in anything
I knew he wasn't wrong
I saw two lovers in the park
With that dreamy look of lust in their eyes
The whole world smiled as they passed by
They just make me mad
So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
Take this jaded heart, blow it all apart, once before I die
EmI'll get down on my Fknees, Gsomething I don't belAmieve
EmSomebody help me Fplease, I'm Gstarting to repeat myself
I'm Gstarting to repeat myself
So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
I'd love to see a miracle once before I die
Once before I die
