Common Things Lyrics

You see me

All of me

Even through

This cracked windshield screen

Our bruises

In full bloom

We're both in need of

Ubuntu

But there's something I just can't let go

Maybe it's the way there's nothing about me

That you don't wanna know and

Maybe it's the way this feels divine

And you keep me saying

Oh my word

We're coffee grounds spilled on the ground

Shiraz on a white couch

When fighting with you

We're sunshine blocked by copper clouds

Tryna sleep but music's loud

Like standing back of the queue

And I'd be lying if I didn't think to run

When I heard the shot

But didn't see the gun

Let's use our heart strings

And re-write these common things

Cause we're more than a statistic

Mmm

I see you

All of you

Even when your body's in Vegas

Your voice in the room

Complicate

Obfuscate

The real issues

'til we're dancing with fate

But there's something holding your attention

Reckon it's the way the love in the air's never lacking direction

Ya no

It's the way my heart got lost

And found home

Just took the garden route (just took the garden route)

We're coffee grounds spilled on the ground

Shiraz on a white couch

When fighting with you

We're sunshine blocked by copper clouds

Tryna sleep but music's loud

Like standing back of the queue

And I'd be lying if I didn't think to run

When I heard the shot

But didn't see the gun

Let's use our heart strings

And re-write these common things oh

We're ashes clogging the fireplace

Red robots when we're running late

If we fall they'll say

Ya I called it

Bent us tried to make it fit

And nearly almost broke it

But we're more than just shapes

Tryna fit into things

We're more than just shapes

Tryna fit into things ah

We're stars sprinkled 'cross skies

A baby opening its eyes

We're beautiful like common things

Jewel tones in a palace

Then gatvol when we've had it

We're beautiful like common things

We'd be lying if we didn't think to run

We fired shots but now we've thrown out our guns

Yes we could end things

Or be more oh

Re-light this love before it burns out

The kind that they'll write books about

Just like when we started things

Mow our lawn let's straighten this out

Sunsets on table mountain

We're beautiful like common things

I'd be lying if I didn't think it's fun

To tell stories when we almost did

But we didn't run

Proved everyone wrong

With undying everlasting

Common love

Ow

I don't wanna be a statistic

Take your face paint it with my lipstick

Cause we're more than just these common things

No need to prove anything

Just to us that we still want this baby

Challenge accepted

Let's use our heart strings

And my bronze six strings

In two hours and fifteen

And re-write these common things

Cause we're not just like

Like a common laptop rebooting

Like a common intrusive musing

Like a common person commenting

We're beautiful like common things

We're beautiful like

Like a common friendship blossoming

Like a common smoothie you're blending

Like a common fairytale ending

Like a common love song I'd sing

Like a common love song I'd sing
