Ordinary Thursday
For the one who keeps showing up
Press play to hear this song.
Why this song was made
This love song thanks a partner for showing up through a draining year of night shifts and uncertainty. Its promise lives in packed lunches and quiet company rather than grand declarations.
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left a sandwich in the fridge with half a crooked heart,
Drawn across the paper bag before your early start.
I came home from another shift with nothing left to give,
You made a little space for me to simply sit and live.
[Chorus]
Love me on a Thursday, when the lights are low,
Washing needs another spin, and neither of us knows.
I'll make your coffee when the morning comes too soon,
Build a life from little ways of getting through.
[Verse 2]
There wasn't any perfect speech the night the letter came,
You sat beside me on the floor and whispered out my name.
We didn't solve the future; we just made ourselves some toast,
And in that small and stubborn act I felt you love me most.
[Bridge]
Let the big days have their flowers and their photographs in frames,
I remember all the evenings when you asked about my day.
When it's your turn to feel tired, put your heavy bag right here,
I have learned your kind of loving; let me give it back, my dear.
[Chorus]
Love me on a Thursday, when the lights are low,
Washing needs another spin, and neither of us knows.
I'll make your coffee when the morning comes too soon,
Build a life from little ways of getting through.
