The Ordinary Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Half a page beneath the cup I read the first line twice this morning Then folded everything back up [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect answer I just need to know it's true If the door is still unlocked I'll leave the light on for you [Chorus] Come back by the ordinary road Past the bakery, past the old oak tree No grand promise, no heavy words Just bring the part of you that still remembers me Come back by the ordinary road I'll meet you where the pavement turns Some things don't need a miracle They only need a little time to learn [Verse 2] The neighbor fixed the garden gate Your blue scarf's still inside the drawer I stopped pretending I was leaving I stopped checking for your car [Pre-Chorus] Every day becomes a question Every answer points your way If the door is still unlocked You can walk in any day [Chorus] Come back by the ordinary road Past the bakery, past the old oak tree No grand promise, no heavy words Just bring the part of you that still remembers me Come back by the ordinary road I'll meet you where the pavement turns Some things don't need a miracle They only need a little time to learn [Bridge] And if you're different, so am I We can start with what remains Set the plates beside the window Let the quiet lose its name [Final Chorus] Come back by the ordinary road Past the bakery, past the old oak tree No grand promise, no heavy words Just bring the part of you that still remembers me Come back by the ordinary road I'll meet you where the pavement turns Some things don't need a miracle They only need a little time to learn [Outro] I left the light on for you I left the light on for you
