Jose Gonzalez - Cast A Light lyrics

[Chorus: José González] Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you? Returning nightmares only shadows We'll cast some light and you'll be alright We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now [Verse 1: Plan B] Wow! Look what I've done Made my girl a mum and a brand new son How you doing little fella? My names Dad No need to cry now don't be sad I'm gonna take good care of you Starting today I swear to you You're never gonna go without Might not always get what you want But anything you need you'll get no doubt All you gotta do is shout and I'll be right there or thereabouts 'Cause I really care about you, and I don't ever want you To go through what I went through when I was a little yout' No father figure to look up to Just one woman who provides the food But can't afford to buy you shoes Nah 'llow that boy, I'm here for life And I want your one to be nice So I'm gonna stick by your mum's side And stay right there till the day that I die I'll provide Everything you need to succeed, ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing 'Cause your daddy raps and sings And when he makes tracks it brings Money and expensive things to the table Cause he's big and he's signed to a label Likes to take risks, ain't afraid to play ball Anyway little man, you look tired, and my parking ticket's expired So I'm going outside to sort it out and smoke a snout Be back in a while [Chorus: José González] Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you? Returning nightmares only shadows We'll cast some light and you'll be alright [Verse 2: Plan B] Hey come on now open the door You're fourteen years old, not four I don't wanna hear you cry no more I know it's your birthday that's why Ah! I'm sorry that I spoiled it You know I didn't mean it when I said I shoulda wa*ked you down the toilet It's just sometimes you make me see red And I get a screw loose in my head Plus I was already angry You know I just sacked my ba** player Andy 'Cause he f**ed my girlfriend called Candy On the launch night of The Best of Plan B I shoulda known this day would come Oh, how I wish I'd stayed with your mum Made things work, I'm so dumb Worse than that - I'm a c*nt f** me I need a f*g Oh, come on son, don't be like that All I need's a drag I know I said I'd quit but I feel like sh** and I need it bad Okay, come out your room now it's your day Go back downstairs with your mates And blow out the candles on your cake [Chorus: José González] Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you? Returning nightmares only shadows We'll cast some light and you'll be alright We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now [Verse 3: Plan B] Hey son, don't cry, know it's hard but you have to try Hold it together and accept that I Lived my life now I'm going to die Course I wish I could turn back time Before my lungs became cancerous If I knew then what I know now I would have put up with the anxiousness That you feel when you need a snout But shoulda, woulda, coulda can't help me now So let's not waste the time I have left 'Specially when I got a lot to get off my chest I need to tell you this now When you was born I made a vow Crossed my heart and hoped to die, looked to the sky and swore that I Would never let you down So I'm sorry that I did When you was a kid and I spent months being on tour No son it ain't alright, I really shoulda been there more Been there for you when you needed me Instead of going out and cheating repeatedly On your poor old mother, yeah I really do love her It's a shame I only realise now There's a tube in my arm that a drip goes down Sitting here waiting till this sh** goes down Who woulda thought out of Ca**el and me That old motherf**er would outlive me Though I never went deaf like Beni G Or f**ed my liver with Hennessy I'm still gonna die before I get to see My grandkids grow up to be Old enough to have a drink with me But hey That's life What's that? That's nice Can't you see That light? Coming from the ceiling shining bright Son I think I'm about to die Feel like I'm going up, up to the sky I thought I'd be afraid but I feel alright My lungs feel good they don't feel tight Son I love you, please don't cry Everything's gonna be just fine Going to heaven don't mean I've died I'mma live forever down deep inside Your heart until it stops, and they send you up here But until that time, you're gonna be fine, I'll watch over you from here [Chorus: José González] Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you? Returning nightmares only shadows We'll cast some light and you'll be alright We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
