Thankful - Glen Phillips

Forgive me this sin

I’m falling over

And flashing tin grins

And rolling in clover

So ready to get out

And eager to please

Well its late in the day in the middle of a life

But it’s early in the century

I never got it

I never got it before

Hey, hello

How do you get on

So much undone

It’s like it was before

We both got a lot to be thankful for

Forgive me my tongue

It doesn’t know what it’s doing

It used to get washed out

Now it’s undisciplined and crude

I’m losing my language

And calling a truce

And the shape of the thoughts in my head

Aren’t right for the words I’ve got to use

I got 'em never

Never got 'em before

Hey, hello

How do you get on

So much undone

And still you shine like the sun

We both got a lot to be thankful for

We both got a lot to be thankful for

White dwarf, red giant

It’s empty in space

And where there’s matter there’s violence

I never got it

I never got it before

Hey, hello

How do you get on

So much undone

And still you shine like the sun

We’ve got a lot to be thankful for

We’ve both got a lot to be thankful for

We’ve both got a lot to be thankful for

We’ve both got a lot to be thankful for
