I Choose Your Ordinary Days

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1] You pinned a blue ribbon to the kitchen chair Your sister fixed the flowers in your hair The old church clock was running two minutes slow But nobody cared where the minutes go [Pre-Chorus] Your hand found mine beside the borrowed rings A room full of familiar, beautiful things [Chorus] Today, I choose your ordinary days The coffee cooling while we talk in the kitchen The hard goodbyes, the plans we rearrange The little promises we keep on living If the years turn fast, if the seasons change I’ll meet you there and say your name Today, tomorrow, all the way I choose your ordinary days [Verse 2] Your father laughed when the pictures took too long Your mother hummed the first line of a song A cousin spilled champagne across the floor And we made a memory worth cleaning for [Pre-Chorus] The room grew quiet when you looked at me Like every road had led us faithfully [Chorus] Today, I choose your ordinary days The coffee cooling while we talk in the kitchen The hard goodbyes, the plans we rearrange The little promises we keep on living If the years turn fast, if the seasons change I’ll meet you there and say your name Today, tomorrow, all the way I choose your ordinary days [Bridge] When the house is dark and the bills are due When one of us forgets what we meant to do I’ll leave the porch light on, I’ll make some tea And find the gentlest way back to you and me [Final Chorus] Today, I choose your ordinary days The Sunday mornings and the weather changing The open door, the courage to stay The thousand quiet ways we keep on choosing If the years turn fast, if the seasons change I’ll meet you there and say your name Today, tomorrow, all the way I choose your ordinary days [Outro] Your hand in mine, the room fading away I choose you still, at the end of every day
