It was an early morning December
Doesn't really mean much I remember
It was diaper day
Must have been a Tuesday.
I stepped out the front door
like I done so many times before
Reached in my pocket
swung the door closed and locked it
I got thinking six or seven years past
all those deep breaths exhale fast
So many birthday cakes, so many wishes
remind me again and again what's delicious
Then there's the other days in between
They're the ones I'm afraid to be in
It's a deep fear, so deep, deep, deeper, and more
Too deep to think a drop can still ripple a wave to shore
[chorus]
Just an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
Birthdays are good and weddings too
Anywhere there's cake and wine for me and you
Pass the glass to the children
Good cheer. OK OK just a sip then
The answer to what matters
came, and my biggest fear shattered
It's any day, good day, what a day, Tuesday
It's any day, good day, what a day, Tuesday
[chorus]
I liked what you told me
I liked what you said
I liked that you never once pushed me away
[chorus]

Just an Ordinary Day
