New Friend Jesus Lyrics - Clear Heart Full Eyes - Craig Finn

Everybody's saying that the lights don't shine 

But the lights shine down on me 

I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus 

I met him in the parking lot 

He took me in his car 

I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus 

We rode around all afternoon 

He sold me his guitar 

I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus 

Now people give me sideways looks 

When we set up on the strand 

But it's hard 

I wish I was with Jesus when I met you 

I wish I was with Jesus when I met you 

I wish I was with Jesus when I met you 

You'd be so impressed with me 

You'd give yourself right up to me 

Everybody's saying that it's way too warm 

But me, I feel a chill 

I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus 

We drove around all summer long 

We parked behind the bars 

I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus 

People say we suck at sports 

But they don't understand 

It's hard to catch with holes right through your hands 

I wish I was with Jesus when you loved me 

I wish I was with Jesus when you loved me 

I wish I was with Jesus when you loved me 

I would have been a better me 

That much I can guarantee 

Now I'm on your doorstep and you're asking me to leave 

You say you don't believe I could ever change so quickly 

You say you'll call the cops but even if you do 

I'll just love them all the way that Jesus loves me 

I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
