Gothenburg last year
You told me you were there
I sang a couple of songs and did not know
You sat there all alone
Surrounded by this glare
And people everywhere
And everyone would want a picture of
The evening star right there
And then you said to me, I saw you
But you don't know what I did
Now this is me
Though I'm just a small town kid
It's what I am
Jonathan, this is what I do
I write about my life and then I sing
and now I'm singing to you
You know that thing,
when it dries right through
You know that you're okay
but something terrible
just happened to you?
Dressed up in white and red
You look beautiful, she said
The others wore nice shoes
One spoke polite,
while the other one agreed
Then you said to me, I saw you,
but you don't know I did
Now this is me,
though I'm just a small town kid
It's what I am, you're not them
This is what I do
I write about my life and then I sing
And now I'm singing to you
You know that thing
When it drives right through
You know that you're okay
but something terrible
People just happen to you
And sometimes I don't even know
what I'm meant to see
But people like you are giving back
so much more to me
Jonathan, this is what I do
I write about my life and then I sing
and now I'm singing to you
You know that thing
when it drives right through
You know that you're okay
but something terrible
just happened to you
