Title: Thank You Too Lyrics
Post by: el_chode on Mar 16, 2008, 12:13 AM
Hey all,

Haven't posted in a while. I tried grabbing the lyrics for "Thank You Too" from the SXSW recording. To make up for my lack of forum participating, here's my attempt at grabbing the lyrics. Parts I couldn't figure out are put in {brackets}, so feel free to adjust, correct, whatever if you think I heard it wrong. I've been at the Craft Beer Fest in Philly all night so I'm not 100% reliable

Thank You Too

{Maybe he} didn't think he's gonna make it
{Maybe he} didn't think he's gonna make it make it this way
Put on my robot face
Had my lonesome {suede} far away from me

Oh you really saw my naked heart
You really brought out the naked part
I don't know what you do
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me

I want to take you for all that you are
I hope my words seem {from the heart}
I want to see you through all that you do
I want to thank you

Strange in {that it is over}
You could even say I'm usin' the way you came {to me}
You could write a simple plan
You could change the fate of a man; you thought of everything

Oh you really saw my naked heart
You really brought the naked part
I don't know what you do
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me

This was my take.  I think it's pretty accurate, except I'm unsure about the first word

Pretty (???) do you think it's gonna make it
Pretty (???) do you think it's gonna make it this way
Put on my robot face
Hide my emotions way far away from you

Ooh, You really saw my naked heart
You really brought out the naked part
I don't know what you doin
I know I just want to thank you for thinkin of me

I want to take you, for all that you are
I know our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you, for all that you do
I want to thank you

It was strange and it was soothing
You could even say amuzing, the way you came to me
You divised a simple plan, that could change the fate of man
You thought of everything

Ooh, You really saw my naked heart
You really brought out the naked part
I don't know what you doin
I know I just want to thank you for thinkin of me

I want to take you, for all that you are
I know our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you, for all that you do
I want to thank you

I want to take you, for all that you are
I know our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you, for all that you do
I want to thank you

I think the first two lines start with "Really do you think it's going to make it?"

it feels like he's thanking so many people in this song- the fans for the support, life/god/fate/whatever for the opportunity to do what they do so well, his parents and friends.

what a gorgeous song.

Is it just me, or does anyone else do the Bo Koster head bob thingy from the promo video at the 28 second mark of the song?

anyone think that this song could be written about a fan?  Or directed to a fan?

or maybe just to fans in general?

I do...
