My usual orders — at my usual deli
Beneath the pale florescent lights
My usual side of curly fries
It’s breakfast food for dinner tonight
My usual greetings — to usual acquaintances
Though I’ve yet to learn their names
It’s a sweet collage, of all the things mundane
And I’m just trying to get by, day to day
But I got my little group of friends
And a roof above my head
All the things I’ll ever need
And boy I love my Goodwill clothes
Cuz I know that all of this will soon be gone
I’m a part time teacher — a part time writer
Always chasing deadlines and commutes
Along the way I scribble down these tunes
About the usual things that used to feel so new
Like my little group of friends
And the roof above my head
All the things I’ll ever need
And boy I love my Goodwill clothes
Cuz I know that all of this will soon be gone
And the purple winter skies over lattice towers
As my days and pigeons fly many miles per hour
I'm already twenty five
And I'm beginning to see how fast it all goes
My little group of friends
I’ll wonder where they went
Cuz when I think of it, they’re all I’ve really had
Did I toss my goodwill clothes
Knowing I have sang I loved them, before?
