Lyrics: David Usher. The Mile End Sessions. Everyday Things.


It's everyday things
Like coffee to go
Like watching your mouth move through the words
Like a million times before
I'm watching the rain
Just to see how it falls
Watching the light fade from your eyes
As we start to numb
It's everyday things
Time stands still
There's blood on my fingertips
Do you feel the chill?

And then the waves come crashing
I can feel the weight of water
I can hear the angels singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us
Day by day, and it's moment after moment
I can hear the people singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us now

Before it gets light
Before we're undone
Before the white noise takes us over
Before they can speak
All crowded around
Before the wrong words take us over

And then the waves come crashing
I can feel the weight of water
I can hear the angels singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us
Day by day, and it's moment after moment
I can hear the people singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us now

It's everyday things
Like coffee to go
Like watching your mouth move through the words
Like a million times before
It's everyday things
When time stands still
There's blood on your fingertips
Do you feel the chill?

And then the waves come crashing
I can feel the weight of water
I can hear the angels singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us
Day by day, and it's moment after moment
I can hear the people singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us now

They're laughing at us now
They're laughing at us now
They're laughing at us now
They're laughing at us now
