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
