The Normals - Everything (Apron Full of Stains) Lyrics

She walks to the table with an apron full of stains
And asks, "Hey sir, what can I get for you today?"
I try to be polite and make nice conversation but
The foods no good she doesn't seem to even notice me here

Her shoulders slumped, I see her tear stained eyes
Head back through the double swinging doors
Serving pies was not her goal in life
I leave a tip like I think Jesus would and smile

Thanks a lot, have a nice day
And I'm on my way
Jesus what would You do?
Can You teach me how to love like You? ohh

I wanna give You everything
But I've got nothing of my own at all
And if I give what I have not got
Will You fill me up and make me whole, yeah

I see him sitting by the side
Of the building near the street sign
He's got a sign saying, "I will work for food"
He looks up with his glazed over eyes says

"How 'bout a dollar for a veteran, a fellow American?"
Empty stomach, empty mind, empty soul
Have I got the time to feed him a little broken bread? No
Do I toss up a prayer as I walk on by or give him a tract?

And a weak fake smile
Or do I take the time to show him a little love?
Don't feel like I've got anything to give
So I guess, I've got nothing to lose, yeah, e, yeah

I wanna give You everything
But I've got nothing of my own at all
And if I give what I have not got
Will You fill me up and make me whole?

I come back a couple weeks later
See the same apron, same stains
Same splint end hair pulled back
She comes near and says

Hey mister, your smile picked me up
The other day, just thought I'd say thanks
Well, I don't know why it takes
All my effort to try, yeah, e, yeah

I wanna give You everything
But I've got nothing of my own at all
And if I give what I have not got
Will You fill me up and make me whole
Make me whole, make me whole?

She walks to the table with an apron full of stains
And asks, "Hey sir, what can I get for you today?"
