Small Favors Lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

I have to sit you down 

Let me tell you what its all about 

'Cause Ive been carrying a torch around 

And Ive forgotten how to snuff it out 

And you have been unkind 

And thats a matter I cannot ignore 

You have to skirt around the truth sometimes 

But its time I told you what I came here for 

To thank you for all the small favors 

Im thinkin now, I hope it doesnt change us 

And take us to a time when we were strangers 

In a two-station town, you cant get the train to slow down 

Small favors 

Oh, to you as sure as she was honest 

And now do you remember when you promised 

To forgive me someday, the debts that I cant repay 

The debts that I cant repay 

And I cannot forget 

You looked at me as if Id lost a bet 

And I hadnt opened up my big mouth yet 

And I thought of crawling back into the plane 

And though its sad to tell 

I still remember how the dry eye felt 

Across the curtains in the cheap hotel 

Lit up dust clouds in the window panes 

And I thank you for all the small favors 

Im thinkin now, I hope it doesnt change us 

And take us to a time when we were strangers 

In a two-station town, you cant get the train to slow down 

Small favors 

Im thinkin now, I hope it doesnt change us 

And take us to a time when we were strangers 

In a two-station town, you cant get the train to slow down 

Small favors 

Oh, to you as sure as she was honest 

Now do you remember when you promised 

Forgive me someday, the debts that I cant repay 

The debts that I cant repay, debts that I cant repay
