The Ordinary With You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue mug by the sink And lose your keys beneath the chair I know the little wheels you think Before you say them anywhere You tie your hair with one loose hand While morning gathers on the floor I never made a bigger plan Than hearing your key turn the door [Pre-Chorus] If the years come fast or slow There is one thing I already know [Chorus] I want the ordinary with you Grocery lists and winter flu Your tired laugh at half past two The thousand small things lovers do Let the calendar turn its pages Let our names grow old with the ages I will choose you, whatever comes through I want my whole life with you [Verse 2] We’ll argue over paint for walls Then dance around the drying room You’ll rescue plants from certain falls I’ll make too much food for two Some days will ask for all we’ve got Some nights will leave the porch light on But every place we’ve ever stopped Will feel like home when you walk on [Pre-Chorus] When the map runs out of road I’ll be carrying half your load [Chorus] I want the ordinary with you Grocery lists and winter flu Your tired laugh at half past two The thousand small things lovers do Let the calendar turn its pages Let our names grow old with the ages I will choose you, whatever comes through I want my whole life with you [Bridge] And if our hands get lined and slow If the mirror tells us what we know I’ll still look up across the room And find my favorite face in bloom No grand parade, no perfect view Just every morning next to you [Final Chorus] I want the ordinary with you Rain on windows, skies turning blue Every version I become with you Every honest thing we make it through Let the calendar turn its pages Let our names grow old with the ages I will choose you, whatever comes through I want my whole life with you [Outro] Your blue mug waiting by the sink My hand reaching for yours to drink No finish line I need to prove Just all my days in step with you
