Kevin Devine Thanks Lyrics

Thanks Lyrics



I never knew things could be so slow

I could wait so long

Be so still and calm

And get where I want, on your arm



Thin streaks of tar spill off your right eye

Where my fingers find

Their way there every night we sleep side by side

Your hands in mine



When you get here, it's so nice

It's just the part where you leave I don't like



Such a happy accident

A note in your sneaker at 10 in the morning

And all of my worry that you were offended

And the catch in my breath when you weren't

It's like I woke up and got handed a present

And I'm thanking you for it
