Sara Bareilles - Down at the Diner lyrics
[Sara Bareilles - Down at the Diner lyrics]
So many ways to slice a piece of this life
But most of the time it's
In the quarter-life crisis
What’s on your plate at any given time
Can change with the specials
And a jukebox dime
Down at the diner
Start to feel a little lighter
Yeah, down at the diner
Look around and feel better
We're all in this together
I wouldn't call this place a happy end
But, I been ’round the block
And just came back again
Ain't seen the world yet
But I know this much
Might as well call home wherever
My ass ends up
Down at the diner
Don't need to tell them why I'm here
They know me at the diner
And in every single bite is
A little bit of life
Every day what you got
You bring it with you
Share your lot
With the rest of us we're all just
Doing the best we can with how it goes
This small town is all we know
Ordered up, it's hot like my days to find me
Everything here has it's place and timing
I've never been someone who fit's right in
But, I've found myself organizing condiments
Down at the diner
I’m exp’nentially wiser
Yeah, down at the diner
Whatever you are, there's room at the bar
So many days do we do in a row
It’s the little things that keep us afloat
Thank God for the oasis
The people in places that save
Us and serve as reminder
Uh, waitress? Waitress!
Excuse me, waitress?
Hang on just a second!
Order up!
Every day, begin again
Take a seat and settle in
With the rest of us we're all just
Trying to get by when it gets hard
This small town is who we are
It's the heartbeat
Toast on the side!
The center
Two kickass pies!
The lifeline
Coffee to go!
You enter it's the heartbeat
The heartbeat
The center
The center
The lifeline
The lifeline
You enter
You enter
It’s the heartbeat (the heartbeat)
The center (the center)
The lifeline (the lifeline)
You enter (you enter)
It's the heartbeat (the heartbeat)
The center (the center)
The lifeline (the lifeline)
You enter (you enter)
Every day what you got
You bring it with you share your lot
With the rest of us we're all just
Down at the diner, ahh
Down at the diner, ahh
But most of the time it's
In the quarter-life crisis
What’s on your plate at any given time
