**[Verse 1]** The smell of convenience-store chicken Hits me harder than it should tonight I take small bites before it gets cold Back in my room, the usual silence and scent **[Verse 2]** Only the scent of the time with you Still lingers in the same old place Sitting on a chair at the laundromat I’ll wait a little till the clothes are dry **[Pre-Chorus]** It’s been so long since we met on a day off Your favorite bread from the bakery on the corner **[Chorus]** Breathing in the damp night air Walking through my world of just a few blocks The bakery is crowded again tonight I glance inside and hurry down the subway stairs These ordinary days keep passing by And the more ordinary they are, the more they fade **[Verse 3]** Rainwater’s pooled inside my bicycle basket I still haven’t made any plans for my day off Still, I start pedaling into the night I can figure out the plans along the way **[Chorus]** Breathing in the damp night air Walking through my world of just a few blocks The bakery is crowded again tonight I glance inside and hurry down the subway stairs These ordinary days keep passing by And the more ordinary they are, the more they fade **[Bridge]** Lie la lie, lie la lie There are nights when I just want to see you Lie la lie, lie la lie There are nights when I just want to see you **[Final Chorus]** Breathing in the damp night air Walking through my world of just a few blocks The bakery is crowded again tonight I glance inside and hurry down the subway stairs These ordinary days keep passing by And the more ordinary they are, the more they fade
