lyrics

Before the sun has wrestled through our blinds
my body wakes me up
A quiet dream finale breathes from your lips
I catch it with a kiss

You turn to me and you ask what time is it
I grab my phone and let you know it's too early

I love these ordinary times
Breaths before the moments
And in these ordinary times
I'm at ease with you

The corner froyo shop late at night
Walk over in our sweats
We get our bowls to go with plastic spoons
and return back home

We climb in bed and cue up our favorite show
You fall asleep on my chest before it's over

I love these ordinary times
Breaths before the moments
And in these ordinary times
I'm at ease with you

My warm body pressed to yours
Long drives back home
Old clothes you'll never throw away
I'm at ease

A late morning brunch at our spot
A table in the sun
Every dog that comes to say hello
You greet them with a kiss

You look at me with those eyes that says you want one
We both know it'll probably be a few more years

I love these ordinary times
Breaths before the moments
And in these ordinary times
I'm at ease with you
