Talk to me so slow that I can hear you

'Cause what you say makes so much sense to me

Here I'll stand with nothing on my mind

Forgetting everything I'm supposed to say

As I start learning more you'll whisper to me

And tell me what to wish for when I dream the day away

'Cause I know you're the one to teach me something

Like who I am and how to make my way

And when all these things become clear

I'll thank you for making all these things seem so clear, so clear



Take me to your favorite places

Where no one knows me, they all know you

I'll hide my fears and stand right by your side

As the whole world looks up at you

I hope that you stay shaven clean and somewhat sober

The bottle runs like water, but to me it's all the same

Stay with me and be a father

Teach me how to read and write my name

And when all these things become clear

I'll thank you for making all these things seem so clear, so clear



Just when you think I am crazy, shy, and have no feelings

I'll look at you and slowly say your name

I'm thinking someday, maybe, I'll be just like you

And I'll never cry and I'll never be afraid

But not until all these things become clear

And I thank you for making all these things seem so clear

Thank you for making all these things seem so clear, so clear



Now I see, now I see
