transition song

thank you for being so sweet 
as to hold me in your arms
and thank you for being so good
as to show me all your charms
laid out on the table
and i ate them as though i thought
i could keep them with me
oh my baby

thank you for being so kind 
as to rend my heart to shreds
and thank you for being so smart
as to show it in your voice
the way you feel for all of us
and i told you everything as though
there were some way to explain
oh my baby

and you /can be /the one /true thing
and you /can be /my sa-/ving grace
and she /can be /the in-/between
and i /will still /be in /your dreams
for all /the things /you did /to me
oh my baby
oh my baby

i am right to be so kind
as to spare you all my tears
and i am good to be so low
as to stay within her ear-
shot baby can you tell me all the answers
baby can you tell the little
girl why she can never win
and why i'll always have you
and she has to make peace with
what i cannot make peace with
this is not a breakdown
this is just the buildup to 
the crashing sound of me
of me

and you /can be /the one /true thing
and you /can be /my sa-/ving grace
and she /can be /the in-/between
and i /will still /be in /your dreams
for all /the things /you did /to me
for all /the things /you did /to her
and for /the gi-/ant lack /of words
i can /see you /in the /air and
she could /kill you /from down /here
and i won't fight anymore
oh my baby

thank you for being so sweet 
as to hold me in your arms
and thank you for being so good
as to show me all your charms
laid out on the table
and i ate them as though i thought
i could keep them with me
oh my baby
