In the Ordinary

[Verse 1] You kept a blue mug by the kitchen sink I kept my jacket on when I came in Two careful people making room For something neither one could name yet You knew the words I swallowed whole The small goodbye behind my hello No grand design, no perfect sign Just your hand finding mine in the hallway [Pre-Chorus] And all the roads I took alone Were leading somewhere I could go [Chorus] I found my person in the ordinary In the quiet ride, in the borrowed Sunday You made a home from the space beside you Now every hard day has somewhere to land I was looking for a life that felt true Then I looked up and it was you [Verse 2] You leave the window open when it rains Fold the receipts and save the change You call my mother on her birthday And know when I need a little distance I used to measure every risk Keep one foot out of every kiss But you stayed patient, you stayed near Till I could let the future happen here [Pre-Chorus] And all the years I called my own Were teaching me to bring them home [Chorus] I found my person in the ordinary In the quiet ride, in the borrowed Sunday You made a home from the space beside you Now every hard day has somewhere to land I was looking for a life that felt true Then I looked up and it was you [Bridge] If the lights go out, I know the way Your voice will meet me at the gate No promise has to sound brand-new I choose the years that lead to you [Final Chorus] I found my person in the ordinary In the worn-out shoes by the front entry You made a home from the space beside you Now every hard day has somewhere to land I was looking for a life that felt true Then I looked up and it was you Then I looked up and it was you [Outro] The blue mug waits by the kitchen sink And you are here before I think
