Glen Phillips Thankful Lyrics

Thankful Lyrics

Forgive me this sin

I'm falling over

flashing ten grands

rolling in clover

so ready to get up

and eager to please

when it's late in the day

in the middle of the life of the twentieth
century



I never got it

I never got it before

hey
hello

why do you get on

so much undone

just like it was
before

we both got a lot to be thankful for

we both got a lot to be
thankful for



Forgive me my tongue

doesn't know what it's
doing

used to get washed out

now it's undisciplined and crude

I'm losing my language 

call it a tuce

and the shapes of the
thoughts in my head

aren't right for the words I've got to use



I got it never

never got out before

hey hello

why do you get
on

so much undone

still you shine like the sun

we both got a
lot to be thankful for

we both got a lot to be thankful for



white dwarf

red giant

it's empty in space

and where there's
matter there's violence



I never got it

I never got it
before

hey hello

why do you get on

so much undone

still
you shine like the sun

we got a lot to be thankful for

we both got a
lot to be thankful for
