[Verse 1] Don’t hire a room full of flowers If you never remember what I drink Don’t write my name across the skyline If you disappear when I overthink Don’t buy me something expensive After being cruel all week I don’t need love with excellent publicity I need consistency [Pre-Chorus] Keep the spectacle Give me Tuesday [Chorus] No grand gestures Just call when you said you would No grand gestures Ask how I am And actually listen No grand gestures Hold my hand in the supermarket Kiss my forehead when I’m tired I don’t want romance That only knows how to arrive No grand gestures Just stay [Verse 2] Bring me medicine when I’m ill Remember which one makes me sleepy Put petrol in the car If you know I’ve got an early morning Sit beside me when I’m difficult Without making it about you That’s the stuff no camera catches That’s the stuff I’ll notice [Bridge — building] Anybody can be impressive For twelve minutes Love me In the queue In the kitchen In the bad mood In the traffic Make devotion boring Make it dependable [Final Chorus] No grand gestures Give me ordinary proof No grand gestures Be the same person When nobody’s looking No grand gestures I don’t need a cinematic ending I want a life that keeps beginning No grand gestures Just mean it
