Lyrics

[00:28.177] (Jenny Hval)
[00:28.178] So, tell me, that time in the sunset
[00:34.451] When we entered the sunlight
[00:38.983] And were apart
[00:40.866] Like in every cliché revealing itself
[00:43.889] (Look, a man, a woman)
[00:44.556] It's so stupid
[00:47.324] (husband, and wife,
[00:50.773] two strangers,
[00:53.310] and a representative from the government
[00:57.347] performing a dissertation on love,
[01:00.911] but, with them, I'm not sure what it was)
[01:01.838]
[01:01.901] What am I afraid of?
[01:07.605] It has to be ordinary
[01:09.609]
[01:09.737] (Félicia Atkinson)
[01:09.738] Can I only write these things?
[01:12.774] Not all the other things?
[01:14.850]
[01:15.003] (Jenny Hval)
[01:15.004] Does it come to you for free?
[01:17.220] I don't know
[01:18.851]
[01:20.532] (Vivian Wang)
[01:20.533] The curves on her face. The most ordinary
[01:26.468] The ones she sees the most
[01:30.573] The ones that make her cringe
[01:33.932] Yet have the power to calm her
[01:37.597] From her panic attacks
[01:40.025] Because she knows her hands fit there
[01:45.429] The skin makes room
[01:48.520] Like the groove in my finger long after
[01:51.631] I take the wedding ring off
[01:55.470] It wrote something there, on my finger
[02:00.972] And my skin just gave in
[02:05.894]
[02:15.438] (Jenny Hval & Vivian Wang)
[02:15.439] The man's fingers
[02:19.281] Coming through
[02:20.931] Just gave in to the ordinary
[02:31.212] Giving in to the ordinary
[02:41.494] Giving in to the ordinary
[02:49.029] To the ordinary
[02:55.335] To the ordinary
[03:08.730] To the ordinary
[03:22.265] To the ordinary, ordinary
[03:35.886] To the ordinary
[03:49.336] To the ordinary, ordinary
[04:01.298] Ordinary
[04:14.121] Ordinary, ordinary
[04:20.796] Ordinary, ordinary
[04:27.563] Ordinary, ordinary
[04:34.333] Ordinary
[04:40.752] Ordinary
[04:47.465]
[04:49.542] (Vivian Wang & Jenny Hval)
[04:49.543] Outside again, the chaos (My finger)
[04:54.079] Long after I take the wedding ring off (And I wonder what is lost)
[04:58.738] We don't always get to choose
[05:04.096] When we're close
[05:08.817] And when we're not
