Ordinary Afternoon

מילים

[Verse 1] You brought a deck of cards, I brought a bag of pears Maya found a picnic spot beneath the old stone stairs We passed around the lemonade, the cups kept changing hands Then someone told the story wrong, and nobody could stand [Pre-Chorus] The sun slipped past the water tower We said, “One more round, one more hour” [Chorus] Hey, come on, come on, pull your chair in close We’ve got a crooked map and a pocket full of jokes Sing it too loud, get the words all wrong Good friends make an ordinary afternoon a song Hey, come on, come on, let the good times roll A little dusty, a little out of control If the day runs short, we’ll make it last somehow We’re having all the fun we need right now [Verse 2] We tried to build a kite from string and grocery bags It took one gust of wind and tied itself around our hats Jonah chased it down the lane; we followed, laughing hard The neighbor waved us through his gate and dealt us one more card [Pre-Chorus] The first stars blinked above the trees We saved the last peach for whoever needs [Chorus] Hey, come on, come on, pull your chair in close We’ve got a crooked map and a pocket full of jokes Sing it too loud, get the words all wrong Good friends make an ordinary afternoon a song Hey, come on, come on, let the good times roll A little dusty, a little out of control If the day runs short, we’ll make it last somehow We’re having all the fun we need right now [Bridge] When Monday fills the calendar And everyone gets pulled away We’ll keep this little afternoon Like a note tucked safe away [Final Chorus] Hey, come on, come on, pull your chair in close We’ve got a crooked map and a pocket full of jokes Sing it too loud, get the words all wrong Good friends make an ordinary afternoon a song Hey, come on, come on, let the good times roll A little dusty, a little out of control If the day runs short, we’ll make it last somehow We’re having all the fun we need right now [Outro] One more round, one more hour Good friends, good friends, gather ’round
