Ordinary

I notice how she looks at me

But I pretend that I don't see

It's easier if I let the tension subside

I've seen it in the books I read

A magic that you can not see

There's no limitations

They wear it with pride

But the characters I read never act or look like me

I can't depende on them to lead me through the right door

And what's the point of falling when I know I'm only stalling

Cause I have to go back home

Where I'm just one in the herd

Tripping over my words

Trying hard to go with the grain

Keeping the quirks in my brain

I'm on the brink of discovery I think

But what if I'm dreaming?

That's what it seems like

Cause this girl thinks I'm part of her world

And that new territory's scary

If I turn the handle, am I asking for a scandal?

Should I try to be ordinary?

I've always been a little odd

The only pea inside the pod

That's not an expression I'm guessing

Oh well

See that's exactly what I mean!

I'm just as awkward as I seem

Plus she makes me nervous

I hope she can't tell

What is it she sees in this cluster clump of me?

Or, could it maybe be I'm going crazy?

And hey! Who am I kidding?

This isn't some sweet beginning

Just a detour to the end!

Then back to the herd

Tripping over my words

Trying hard to go with the grain

Keeping the quirks in my brain

I'm on the brink of discovery I think

But what if I'm dreaming?

Do I rewind? Induce amnesia?

Pretend I didn't see her?

Succumb to stupid fear?

Or just believe in my heart? (Heart)

Why play a part?

Why follow the herd?

Why not trust in my words?

Don't wanna go with the grain!

Why try to make myself plain?

I'm on the brink of rediscovery I think!

So what if I'm dreaming?

I like the scene that I'm in!

And this girl is a part of this world

The thought of being normal is far more scary

I'll be brave and I'll be kind

I'll make a choice and change my mind

I will mess up all the time

They'll say I'm weird but I'll be fine

I'll be anything but ordinary!
