Ordinary

Take a deep breath and dive down into the river Wrap all your fingers round the roots of a tree Count Mississippis till you see stars Two restless boys in a country town Doing anything to keep from feeling ordinary Got a cheap board and paddled out through open water Where you bargain with a God to stay alive And the dance beneath your skin oh of sweet adrenalin Does everything to keep you from feeling ordinary Waves throw you round and drag you under But it was you who stole the air from my lungs Fooled around with death, gambled my last breath Wanted you to see me as someone more than ordinary Trace the shape of my life around the headland Catch a ride on a memory to the shore Staring at the sun, I've finally begun To see the beauty in things ordinary Staring at the sun, I've finally begun To see the beauty in things ordinary --- Ordinary - Emily Barker
