Before You're Here - Kevin Devine

Watch your mother in the ocean

Hopeful doubts and freckled face

The nurses call «Congratulations!»

So now you’re both alive on every wave

I love you before

You’re even here

You’re even here

With me

I love you before

I’ve seen your face

Know what your name

Will be

Fear of death have me psychotic

Setting traps and daring fate

Obsessive skeptical neurotic

It all just seems ridiculous today

I love you before

You’re even here

You’re even here

With me

I love you before

I’ve seen your face

Know what your name

Will be

There isn’t any offer

I could picture as sweeter

No need to lighten the frame

There’s nothing insubstantial

Or cliche about a feeling

Or being open this way

There isn’t any offer

I could picture as sweeter

No need to lighten the frame

There’s nothing insubstantial

Or cliche about a feeling

Or being open this way

I love you before

You’re even here

You’re even here

With me

I love you before

I’ve seen your face

Know what your name

Will be
