Woman (in mirror) - La Dispute

Where a bookshelf goes or a throw rug

How you shape any common space

And the language you make out of looks and names

All the motions of ordinary love

All the weight it can hold when you say one name

All the motions of ordinary love

They grow and change

All the motions of ordinary love

In the bathroom off the kitchen

Leave the door ajar in a brand new dress

Let me watch put your make up on Let me in give me holy privileges

There’s a dinner thing Thanksgiving

Dress up nice make a dish to bring

There are moments here only yours and mine

Tiny dots on an endless timeline

Tiny dots on an endless timeline

In the mirror with your eyes wide

Trace outlines ask for wine

But you never look away when you do Your eyes don’t move I never move mine from you

And I watch you your reversal

It’s an honest thing when there’s no one there

Some days they feel like dress rehearsals

Some days I watch and you don’t care

There’s a dinner Thanksgiving

Dress up nice make a dish to bring

There are moments here only yours and mine

Tiny dots on an endless timeline

Tiny dots on an endless timeline

Go on and on and on All the motions of ordinary love

I know, I know

All the motions of ordinary love

I know, I know

A glance back

The small of yours

On the sink where I set your glass

A hand that rests there flat

A moment

Retracts

And the recognition

That you give

When you shift position

Move your hip

Slightly in We say nothing then out loud and

That’s what feels the most profound

And I watched you in that apartment somewhere from across the room

But it’s all a haze I remember vaguely lights then staring there to you

It’s the slowest days by the bathroom that somehow never seem to go Where I watched you put your make-up on The smallest sounds leave the clearest echoes

All the motions of ordinary love

All the motions of ordinary love

I know, I know

All the motions of ordinary love

All the motions of ordinary love

I know, I know

All the motions of ordinary love

All the motions of ordinary love

I know, I know

All the motions of ordinary love

All the motions of ordinary love

I know, I know

All the motions of ordinary love,
