Alex Koman - Just Shy of a Couple Meters Lyrics

Just shy of a couple meters
Just shy of a couple meters

We dropped our daughter off at her friends' to play
And headed to Greensboro on the 23rd of May
It was already Wednesday, and we couldn't spare a minute
But we had to stop for directions at a chiropractic clinic

Arriving at the adoption agency just in time
Our case worker took the clothes we brought, and soon called us inside

A beautiful room
With a beautiful bassinet
With a baby boy in the white outfit
She said he was a fussy eater
But he ate well for us, and now he's
Just shy of a couple meters

Just shy of a couple meters
Just shy of a couple meters

We got a phone call about a week to ten days before
My wife hung up and told me, "I think our baby's been born!"
On the 21st, we were told we could come tomorrow
But I had surgery that whole next day to follow

So, we made an appointment and showed up just in time
Our case worker took the clothes we brought and soon called us inside

A beautiful room
With a beautiful bassinet
With a baby boy in the white outfit
She said he was a fussy eater
But he ate well for us, and now he's
Just shy of a couple meters

Just shy of a couple meters
Just shy of a couple meters

My wife was worried if we were the least bit tardy
Our little one would go home with another party

A beautiful room
With a beautiful bassinet
With a baby boy in the white outfit
She said he was a fussy eater
But he ate well for us, and now he's
Just shy of a couple

A beautiful room
With a beautiful bassinet
With a baby boy in the white outfit
She said he was a fussy eater
But he ate well for us, and now he's
Just shy of a couple

He ate well for us, and now he's
Just shy of a couple

He ate well for us, and now he's
Just shy of a couple meters
