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
