Obsessed

They called me obsessed 
for everything I did;
The endless hours driving   
 just to listen to you sing; 
In a world that leaves you numb,
you always made me feel something;

Now on the main stage; 
The headliner,
high above where you used to play;
Still wearing the same smile
in front of twenty thousand 
that you did when it was twenty;

Connection through obsession
A festival known around the world 
will soon  get to experience your voice;
The one it took me an instant to fade into;
Everything I’ve done? I’d do it all again;

Now when you hit that stage
they’ll understand 
your melody impossible to forget,
 and never again will I be called obsessed.
