about

The first single from Ordinary // Colours.

The song is about leaving where you came from and trying to get by on your own, when everything and everyone else has abandoned you but ultimately, ending up in the same place.

lyrics

When it's done,
We'll go back
To our ordinary lives.
Forget the memories of today,
Shrug it off,
We don't care for it.

Just a job that will save
But I don't want to talk about it
With my friends.
I can't tell my parents,
That I have borne a kid.
Nothing scarred,
Nothing healed.

This house is suffering,
And we can't get out.
I came into this city
To try and make a past.
But all our faults
Have made it difficult.

When your children
Get inside our stomachs,
Then you'll realize
The emptiness.

Killed them all
But it's just for money.
There's nothing wrong
As long as we sell ourselves together.

I think we're joyous,
I know that we can fake it
As long as we have enough
To rip up the bills.
You and I,
We'll seek forgiveness.
But you left me
To do this on my own

And I'm forgetting why
We left our hometown.
Wandering onto highways,
Counting up to seventy-nine.
When we dream,
Our dreams are what will pay for us.
But now those dreams are gone,
It's far too difficult.
