[Verse 1: Dylan]
Will I regret it if I let you string me along?
The guy you meet tomorrow, will he know where you're from?
And no what good would it do, would it do if I wait
Trying to belittle my political views
I fucking hate depression so I don't watch the news
The more aware that I am
The more I won't wanna say
The closer I get, I don't wanna see
Hearing footsteps coming after me
Pick up the pace, but I don't know where to go
Give it time you're pulling me around
Got me nervous, fall and hit the ground
Seasons changing, but then again so am I
[Chorus: Dylan]
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be?
Oh
[Verse 2: Dylan]
Can I make my own opinion, tell me all about it
Everyone approves of it
I wanna scream and shout it
And they don't wanna see us, I think it could be a sign
Adolescence forming at the line
They move way too quick to give it time
They're all the same, but how much different am I?
[Chorus: Dylan]
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be?
Oh
[Bridge: Dylan]
If you want it I can take it, make it a little better
I will be here when the weather changes
You'll be waiting for the letter
I won't run away this time
I've got too much to lose
I will be here when it goes on (and on)
[Chorus: Dylan]
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be
To breathe, or not to breathe?
Oh
