Woman (in mirror) |
Where a bookshelf goes or a throw rug |
How you shape any common space |
And the language you make out of looks and names |
All the motions of ordinary love |
All the weight it can hold when you say one name |
All the motions of ordinary love |
They grow and change |
All the motions of ordinary love |
In the bathroom off the kitchen |
Leave the door ajar in a brand new dress |
Let me watch put your make up on Let me in give me holy privileges |
There’s a dinner thing Thanksgiving |
Dress up nice make a dish to bring |
There are moments here only yours and mine |
Tiny dots on an endless timeline |
Tiny dots on an endless timeline |
In the mirror with your eyes wide |
Trace outlines ask for wine |
But you never look away when you do Your eyes don’t move I never move mine from you |
And I watch you your reversal |
It’s an honest thing when there’s no one there |
Some days they feel like dress rehearsals |
Some days I watch and you don’t care |
There’s a dinner Thanksgiving |
Dress up nice make a dish to bring |
There are moments here only yours and mine |
Tiny dots on an endless timeline |
Tiny dots on an endless timeline |
Go on and on and on All the motions of ordinary love |
I know, I know |
All the motions of ordinary love |
I know, I know |
A glance back |
The small of yours |
On the sink where I set your glass |
A hand that rests there flat |
A moment |
Retracts |
And the recognition |
That you give |
When you shift position |
Move your hip |
Slightly in We say nothing then out loud and |
That’s what feels the most profound |
And I watched you in that apartment somewhere from across the room |
But it’s all a haze I remember vaguely lights then staring there to you |
It’s the slowest days by the bathroom that somehow never seem to go Where I watched you put your make-up on The smallest sounds leave the clearest echoes |
All the motions of ordinary love |
All the motions of ordinary love |
I know, I know |
All the motions of ordinary love |
All the motions of ordinary love |
I know, I know |
All the motions of ordinary love |
All the motions of ordinary love |
I know, I know |
All the motions of ordinary love |
All the motions of ordinary love |
I know, I know |
All the motions of ordinary love, |
