The Usual
I like to read the menu try to choose something new
In a place with everything theres pondering to do
She’ll read the story on the back the origin of the restaurant
But she always gets the same thing no matter what.
The usual
The Usual
I’ve got a varied palette doesn’t include everything
But there’s a variety to strike my mood
She’s vanilla icecream - plain pizza with light sauce
Nothing green or meaty
She’s predictable and honest
The usual
The usual
I go through phases of desire
Pasta and burgers with fries
Macaroni and cheese
Hashbrowns on the side
Sometimes salads or a breakfast plate
Thanksgiving meal or pancakes
But she stays steadfast in her order
The usual
The usual
Two slices of wheat bread
With butter and some cheese
On the grill please
And some fries on the side with ketchup
Keep them separate please

I had the same thoughts as @katpiercemusic, in that you're storytelling reminds me of Dar Williams, and that's a good thing! It's such a slice of life brought to life in a song. Thanks!

Really enjoyed this. It's a very rich picture from a small point. Relatable and evocative.

I like your story telling style. It reminds me a little of Dar Williams. I also like how you turn a small moment in time into something deeper. Ordinary turned special. That's not always easy to do and still have it seem natural, which this does.
