Ordinary
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.
I've been wasting my days, Good and reckless and true,
I have danced in the dark at the edge of the water, Swinging my hips at the black and the blue, When you die will you be surrounded by friends? Will they pray for a heaven out loud, a hope that somehow they will see you again? And at the end of the day, knowing not what it means, Will you stand in the ashes, building a glame for the rest of your dreams? Would you love, could you love to be ordinary? I know its hard but I can't see you trying, Would you love, could you love to be ordinary? 'Cause I can't see you trying now
And I see strangers at war, I see strangers at peace, Still I hang my head in confusion, It's always been a choice that's been harder for me, And at the end of the day, knowing not what it means, Will you stand in the ashes, building a flame for the rest of your dreams? Would you love, could you love to be ordinary? I know it's hard but
I can't see you trying, Would you love, could you love to be ordinary? No I can't see you trying now
There's nobody left to hear me, I wish you could hear me now, There's nobody left to call because you're not around, Would you love, could you love to be ordinary? I know it's hard but I can't see you trying And would you love, could you love to be ordinary? I know it's hard but I Can't see you trying, When you die will you be surrounded by friends? Will they pray for a heaven out loud, a hope that somehow they will see you again
