Thanks lyrics

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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kevin_devine/thanks.html ]
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
