All Things Ordinary - The Anniversary

I’ve seen those eyes

I’ve watched them close at night

And you breathe in

And you breathe out again

Sister’s coming over and I’m afraid to tell her

Secrets that I know

Painting without colors tends to make it better

It bleaches out the world

Was it the end

The end that kept you up till the morning?

Was it the boy

The boy who stole your heart?

Summer goes on and then dies quick without much warning

All things ordinary

Will you stay near me now?

Don’t leave this town until we’ve figured out

Between the two of us, we’re strong enough

I feel that in your touch

Full from the dinner, but feeling somewhat thinner

Aching in the chest

Kids behind the windows, calling out the answers

To questions never asked

I’ve seen those eyes

I’ve watched them close at night

And what clean comes in

Always comes out again
