An Ordinary Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You steal the window seat on the late bus home Draw little moons on the glass with your thumb I keep the receipt from the diner we found Your name in blue ink, folded up in my coat You laugh when the rain gets caught in your hair I hand you my sleeve like it’s something to spare And all of the words I rehearse in my room Go quiet and honest when I’m next to you [Chorus] I love the way you make an ordinary day Feel like a place I could stay If you lean close, I’ll meet you there No grand promise, just my heart laid bare I love you more than I know how to say So I’ll say it plain, and I’ll say it again You’re the one I want beside me When the whole world feels too loud [Verse 2] Your old red sneakers by my front door A half-read book on the kitchen floor You tell me your worries, I listen them through I like being someone you can come back to We miss our stop, take the long way around You tell me your plans while the town settles down And I’m learning that love isn’t some perfect scene It’s saving you the last sweet thing [Chorus] I love the way you make an ordinary day Feel like a place I could stay If you lean close, I’ll meet you there No grand promise, just my heart laid bare I love you more than I know how to say So I’ll say it plain, and I’ll say it again You’re the one I want beside me When the whole world feels too loud [Bridge] If you ever doubt what you mean to me Look at the small things I keep Your note by the kettle, your laugh in my head The goodnight I wish I’d said [Final Chorus] I love the way you make an ordinary day Feel like a place I could stay If you lean close, I’ll meet you there No grand promise, just my heart laid bare I love you more than I know how to say So I’ll say it plain, and I’ll say it again You’re the one I want beside me You’re the one I want beside me When the whole world feels too loud [Outro] When the whole world feels too loud I’ll be here, I’ll be here
