Can You See Me Tonight?

Can you see me tonight, Mama?

I’m still trying to win you over

As I’m facing a crowd

These ain’t nothing but perfect strangers

I keep driving around

To try to make some strangers love me

By the end of tonight

I’ll sing myself hoarse and I’ll still feel empty

That’s the way

That’s the way I want it to be

And it’s okay, that’s the way

Got my song between the darkness and me

And it’s okay, that’s the way, honey

Turning all the evil to good

And it’s okay, that’s the way, Mama

Changing it like you never could

Yeah, I’m changing it like you never could

Can you see me tonight, Mama?

I’m still trying to let her love me

Always throwing up walls

Even when I’m in perfect safety

I keep knocking them down

To try and let her love surround me

For the rest of my life

I try to take it off, but it’s always with me

That’s the way

That’s the way I want it to be

And it’s okay, that’s the way

Got my song between the darkness and me

And it’s okay, that’s the way, honey

Turning all the evil to good

And it’s okay, that’s the way, Mama

Changing it like you never could

Yeah, I’m changing it like you never could

Yeah, I’m changing it like you never could
