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
