All Things Ordinary

I've seen those eyes.

I've watched them close at night.

And you breathe out again.

my sisters coming over

and i'm afraid to tell her

secrets that i know.

Painting without colors,

it tends to make it better

it bleaches out the world.

Was it the end,

the end that kept that you up till the morning?

Was it the boy,

the boy who stole your heart?

Summer goes on,

and then dies quick without much warning.

All things ordinary.

Will you stay near me now,

don't leave this town, until we've figured out,

between the two of us,

were strong enough,

I feel that in your touch.

Full from the dinner

but feeling somewhat thinner,

aching in the chest.

Kids behind the windows,

they're calling out the answers

to questions never asked.

I've seen those eyes.

I've watched them close at night.

and what queen comes in

always goes out again.
