Everything (Apron Full Of Stains)

The Normals

Composed by: Andrew Osenga/The Normals
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 swingin doors serving pies
was not her goal in life 
I leave a tip like I think Jesus would and smile 
"thanks alot, 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... 

CHORUS: 
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 whhooolleee yeah 

I see him sittin 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 

CHORUS 


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-y-y yeah-e-yeah 


CHORUS 

make me whole, make me whhhoooollleee 
she walks to the table with an apron full of stains 
and asks "hey sir what can I get for you today?"
