You're a classic case of,
"Look around, It's obvious!"
But further down your arm from that bracelet on your wrist
Your armpit's getting sore from the crutches you've been living with

You want to love Him but you don't know how
I can live with I don't know how 
You want to love Him but you don't know how 
So trust yourself and no one else 

When you spend all your time with your eyes to the sky
You end up looking down your nose just to look me in the eye

I see you handing out a pocket sized version of ten rules
Just over the property line of your high school

You want to love Him but you don't know how
(I can live with I don't know how) 
When you open that book, you close your mind
So trust yourself and no one else 
Before something else 

When you spend all your time
With your eyes to the sky 
You end up looking down your nose just to look me in the eye 
When you spend all your time 
You end up looking down your nose just to look me in the eye 

You're filling a dark room with hopes that no one will see
(To turn on a light) you have to get up off your knees
So get up off your knees
You always bring me down... 

So trust yourself 
And no one else 

When you spend all your time 
With your eyes to the sky 
You end up looking down your nose just to look me in the eye 

When you spend (spend) all your time (your time)
With your eyes to the sky 
You end up looking down your nose just to look me in the... 
You always bring me down 

When you spend all your time 
With your eyes to the sky 
You always bring me down 
(You end up looking down your nose just to look me in the eye) 

When you spend all your time 
With your eyes to the sky 
You end up looking down your nose just to look me in the eye 

To turn on the light you have to get up off your knees
