This Ordinary Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Well I've been thinkin' about my life
It seems I never take a chance
But I talk about it all the time
But it's just the same ol' song and dance
I wish I'd done that
Maybe tomorrow
Hope to get there someday
Real soon...
But I don't want to talk about it
I just want my life to shout it
[Chorus]
Alright!...Okay!...
I'm on my way.
Take me beyond this ordinary life.
With you I pray my heart will stay.
Take me beyond this ordinary life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
This ordinary life!
Well come to find I was standing at the edge
Of all my dreams for all these years.
I tried to put my best foot forward.
I Got tangled up in fear.
Still you were waiting all the while
For me
And I can see it's now or never
I will live for you forever.
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah!...Alright!...
This ordinary life!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
I can see it's now or never
So I will live for you forever
Oh..Oh...
[Repeat Chorus]
Alright!...Okay!...
I'm on my way.
Take me beyond this ordinary life.
With you I pray my heart will stay.
Take me beyond...
Take me beyond...yeah, yeah...
[5x] Take me beyond this ordinary life.
Take me beyond...
Take me...
Take me...Hahahahahaha
