Call me when I'm ordinary
[Intro] Don’t call me beautiful tonight. Call me tomorrow morning. [Instrumental] [Verse 1] You love me in the doorway When every head turns round, When I walk into the silence And make it make a sound. You love me with a story, A little damage in my eyes, A dress that needs an audience, A truth that needs a lie. But Tuesday has no spotlight, No thunder, no applause. Just coffee on the counter And nothing going wrong. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t wait for tears To make me interesting. Don’t wait for fire To call it chemistry. [Chorus] Call me when I’m ordinary, When the room forgets my name. When I’m not your little tragedy, Your angel crying for the camera in the rain. Call me when the makeup’s sleeping, When the magic’s off the air. If you only love extraordinary, You don’t really love me there. Call me when I’m ordinary. See if you still care. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Come find me in the kitchen With my hair tied anyhow, Reading labels on the cereal, Too tired to entertain you now. I might leave the dishes waiting. I might have nothing wise to say. I might wear the same old sweater For the third time in four days. No midnight revelation, No beautiful collapse. No enemy to rescue me from, No pieces to put back. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t make me break To make me worth your time. Don’t need my darkness Just to see me shine. [Chorus] Call me when I’m ordinary, When the room forgets my name. When I’m not your little tragedy, Your angel crying for the camera in the rain. Call me when the makeup’s sleeping, When the magic’s off the air. If you only love extraordinary, You don’t really love me there. Call me when I’m ordinary. See if you still care. [Post-Chorus] Will you still care? Will you stay there When I’m only me? [Bridge] I don’t need another witness To the worst night of my life. I need someone who can hold me When I’m doing mostly fine. No cameras, no catastrophe, No reason to be brave. Can you love me in the silence When there’s nothing here to save? [Bridge Lift] Nothing to save! Nothing to prove! Nothing between us But the everyday truth! Do you want my heart Or only what it goes through? Call me... Call me when... Ooh-ooh-ah... Ooh-ah-ah... Call me... [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Call me when I’m ordinary, When the room forgets my name. When I’m not your perfect memory, Your beautiful mistake. Call me when the makeup’s sleeping, When there’s nothing left to wear. If you only love extraordinary, You were never really there. Call me when I’m ordinary, When I’m quiet, when I’m plain. When my heart is not performing, When I’m not singing through the pain. Call me when I’m ordinary That’s the rarest thing I am. [Outro] No tragedy. No grand goodbye. No reason why. Just call me When I’m ordinary. And love me Like I am.
