my ordinary side

your face is wild

emotion playing shows

my eyes

they wait

i'm trying not to show what i'm thinking

dear

you always seem to know

my walls disappear

so i try

then i try

still you see i'm not alright

well is bright

what i keep in

coming out like rays of light

so what i don't mind

take my ordinary side

until you'll lighten up my day

i think i'll never get it right

so what?

so what?

it's always been a tidal tug-of-war

get up

fall down

and pleasure to endure

but you draw me out

across the ups and downs

find the middle ground

so i try

then i try

still you see i'm not alright

well is bright

what i keep in

coming out like rays of light

so what i don't mind

take my ordinary side

until you'll lighten up my day

i think i'll never get it right

things get so unreal

how do you think straight

when you lose your point of view

i know whats right

i'm gonna be that tonight

so i try

then i try

still you see i'm not alright

well is bright

what i keep in

coming out like rays of light

so what i don't mind

take my ordinary side

until you'll lighten up my day

i think i'll never get it right

so what?

so what?

so what?

oh
