Ordinary Hours

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue mug by the sink And fold the paper where you read I know the little pause you take Before you tell me what you need [Pre-Chorus] No grand arrival, no parade Just your hand finding mine [Chorus] I love you in the ordinary hours When the kettle clicks and the day runs late In the small, sure ways we make a home In the seat you save, in the food you plate If the years rearrange the view I’ll still turn toward you [Verse 2] You hum while sorting through the mail I fix the drawer that sticks again We trade the last warm piece of bread And laugh at how we missed the train [Pre-Chorus] No perfect answer, no disguise Just your hand finding mine [Chorus] I love you in the ordinary hours When the kettle clicks and the day runs late In the small, sure ways we make a home In the seat you save, in the food you plate If the years rearrange the view I’ll still turn toward you [Bridge] When the hard news fills the room When the plans we made fall through We can take the long way back One slow step, then two [Final Chorus] I love you in the ordinary hours Through the tired days and the bright ones too In the small, sure ways we make a home Every little road leads back to you If the years rearrange the view I’ll still turn toward you [Outro] Your blue mug waits beside the sink And I’m glad I’m here with you
