Not One Ordinary Day(Melodic House Rap)
[Intro – Mat | Soft Singing] Eleven years... And I still hear you calling from the other room. [Verse 1 – Mat | Melodic Rap] Eleven years, I still hear you say my name, That little rising "baaaabe?"—I'd already know the game. "Yes, my love?" if I didn't know what you needed me to do, But if I heard that smile coming, I'd start guessing it for you. "Is it water?" Little nod, that cheesy smile across your face, I'd be halfway down the hallway, then you'd call me back again. "And the chips as well!" in that little voice you'd use, I'd imitate you: "Okay, the chips as well!" just to amuse you. Soon we'd both be doing it to make each other grin, Another little world we had that nobody else was in. Little jars of honey we came carrying through the door, Zoe's paws against your stomach, forehead nudging yours. She'd rub her cheek against your cheek till you smiled once more, Then she'd race back into trouble like she hadn't stopped before. [Pre-Chorus – Mat | Emotional Singing] I never needed to lose you to know those moments shone, I loved them while they happened, even when we stayed at home. I just thought there'd be a hundred thousand more to come, Didn't know the last time would feel like any other one. [Chorus – Emma | Soaring Singing] Not one ordinary day with you, Even when we stayed inside. You'd call "baaaabe" across the hallway, And the fireworks came alive. I knew the magic while it happened, I just thought that it would stay. All those hours no one noticed— Not one ordinary day. [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 2 – Mat | Rap, Building] Now I'm hearing all your songs, there's a world I didn't see, You were writing how you broke free, I wrote what you meant to me. You were singing of the fear, I was singing of the laughter, You were trying to find yourself, I was writing "Even After." And the fucked-up part? Both contain some truth, The light I gave can't cancel what I put you through. I called you my whole damn book, overlooked the pages Where the woman that I loved was getting lost between the changes. You were asking me for safety, I was asking to be known, Both of us were lonely in the place we called our home. Every bit of love was real, but so was every hurt I caused, And I wish I'd learned the difference before everything was lost. [Chorus – Emma | Stronger Singing] Not one ordinary day with you, Even when we stayed inside. You'd call "baaaabe" across the hallway, And the fireworks came alive. I knew the magic while it happened, I just thought that it would stay. All those hours no one noticed— Not one ordinary day. [Verse 3 – Emma | Melodic Rap, Then Singing] It wasn't diamonds, wasn't champagne, Wasn't dancing in the pouring rain. It was half a word, and you knew the rest, Little things that somehow meant the best. A hallway conversation, a familiar sound, A thousand little moments when no one was around. You didn't need a picture to remember that place, You could hear the whole story in the way you'd say her name. And you knew it was special, you felt it back then, You just thought those moments would come around again. Sometimes the things that mean the most Are the ones you never thought you'd lose... [Emma – Singing, Rising] Not one ordinary day... Not one ordinary day with you. [Verse 4 – Mat | Emotional Melodic Rap] February fifteenth, now the two of us were three, I watched you become a mother, watched you give him everything. Our little boy with eyes so blue, a whole new world to see, All the love we'd built had someone new to receive. You wrote about escaping; I wrote about the things I'd save, You wrote about the shadows; I wrote about the light you gave. Won't rewrite your story, won't pretend you got it wrong, I just wish you knew how much of you lives in my songs. Not just the heartbreak, guilt, and all the nights I cried, But eleven years of loving you, the whole damn fucking ride. [Bridge – Mat | Raw Singing] We made a whole language out of half a word, I heard the water in your voice, but missed it when you hurt. I could guess the chips before you had to ask, But I didn't always see the weight you carried on your back. And if I ever hear you calling from that room again, I want to hear the things you need, not just the things you said. [Final Chorus – Emma | Powerful Singing] Not one ordinary day with you, Even when we stayed inside. You'd call "baaaabe" across the hallway, And the fireworks came alive. I knew the magic while it happened, I just thought that it would stay. All those hours no one noticed— Not one ordinary day. [Outro – Mat | Soft Singing] And if I ever hear that voice again, Calling "baaaabe?" from the other room... I know exactly what I'd say. "Yes, my love?"
