We could go pop all the champagne in California
We could have omakase in Tokyo if you wanna
Hypothetically we could do anything that we like
We could hit up all the slopes in matching snowsuits
We could hang out at the louvre all night if you want to
We could spend every dime
But I don’t want anything but more time
No matter what we do
There’s never gonna be an ordinary thing
No ordinary things with you
It’s funny but it’s true
There’s never gonna be an ordinary thing
As long as I’m with you
You hit just like the first sip of wine after a long day
You hit like my biggest fan when I hear what the critiques say
You hit just like a green light when I’m stuck runnin’ real late
I don’t need no diamonds, just your time
No matter what we do
There’s never gonna be an ordinary thing
No ordinary things with you
It’s funny but it’s true
There’s never gonna be an ordinary thing
As long as I’m with you
Ordinary thing, ordinary things with you
Ordinary thing, as long as I’m with you
And when he’d come home and I’d see him, when he first gets off that train
It was like God almighty arrived
It was like seeing daylight
I mean, I could’ve packed up and left a million times, you know, it’s not that we never fought
You can overcome that, you know? it-it’s very easy, and as I told her
Never go to bed without kissin’ goodnight
That’s the worst thing to do, don’t ever, ever do that
And if you can’t, and if you don’t feel comfortable doing it
You’re in the wrong place, get out
Finding Magic in the Everyday
Ariana Grande’s “ordinary things” beautifully explores the idea that true joy isn’t found in extravagant adventures, but in the simple, shared moments with someone special. The lyrics paint vivid images of lavish experiences, from sipping champagne in California to wandering the Louvre at night, yet the heart of the song reveals that these grand gestures pale in comparison to the value of time spent together. Ariana’s voice brings warmth and sincerity, capturing the way love transforms even the most mundane routines into extraordinary memories. The spoken outro adds a touch of wisdom, emphasizing the importance of cherishing your partner and never taking love for granted.
