Verse 1
The grocery store closes at midnight
But the flowers disappear by eight
You said that tells you everything
About the way people operate
Everybody wants the grand gesture
Nobody wants the Tuesday night
Standing in aisle seven
Trying to pick the cheaper wine
Chorus
And that’s what I remember
Not the fireworks
Not the fights
Just you arguing with a self-checkout
On a random Tuesday night
Funny how the biggest parts
Shrink when you look back
And the smallest moments
Take up all the space
Verse 2
You used to read the movie summaries
Then pretend you hadn’t seen the end
Like somehow knowing where we’re going
Would change where we’ve been
I think about that more than I should
Whenever life starts moving fast
How everybody wants the answer
Before they’ve heard the question asked
Bridge
The city keeps replacing buildings
The street names stay the same
Maybe that’s what memory does
Changes everything
And keeps the shape
Final Chorus
And that’s what I remember
Not the promises
Not goodbye
Just you laughing in fluorescent light
On a random Tuesday night
Like happiness was something ordinary
And that’s why I missed it
At the time
