lyrics

I took you to the mall and bought you pants
I took the scissors cut the tags off
You called that romance
And I placed them in your dresser drawers
Behind that shirt you got for Christmas
You called my mother just to say hello
Perhaps to show that you’re my champion
Cuz only champions, will talk about the weather in my hometown
My mother said it should’ve rained by now.

Cuz we’re extraordinary people
Living ordinary lives
Lovers in a grocery store
Just waiting out the lines
I don’t know much about love
But I know that it's our time...

I told you that my body still gets tight
When I think about you holding her, in the middle of the night
Have you tried to remember or forget about the things we we said
Do you think that I’m a hero or a coward?
Did I pull you from the precipice or did I push you down
Do you feel your body getting tight now
Now that you’re holding me

Cuz we’re extraordinary people
Committing ordinary crimes
Poets with unpaid parking tickets
Apostles wielding knives
I don’t know any criminals,
But I know how to tell a lie

And I woke up in the night to find the light
I said I’m dying, you said your body’s lying to you
And you held me tight and rocked me left and right
Until the sun came up
We slept in the daylight
We slept in

Cuz we’re extraordinary people
Living ordinary lives
Angels giving handshakes in the middle of the night
I don’t see any angels, but I can feel your hand in mine

Cuz I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
