Lyrics Before You're Here - Kevin Devine

Before You're Here

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
