The Ordinary
Embracing the Ordinary Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I'm not around when you think you would need me
I am absent when you expect my presence
I'm on the run when you wished to touch me
I am elusive when you desire contact
Don't count on me, count to three
Don't rely on me, give me a moment to respond
And in a blink of an eye I'm off the scene
I disappear suddenly, leaving the situation
I'll let you down once again don't you believe
I disappoint you once more, don't trust my promises
I got no spine so my back breaks every week
My lack of courage causes me to break under pressure
„Come stay with me“ -
A plea for companionship
„I gotta leave, the race is on I better get up on my feet“
I must depart; the competition or challenges demand my attention
What you see in me is nothing but a wishful dream
Your perception of me is an unrealistic desire
I'm less then what you thought of me
I am inferior to your expectations
I am the ordinary
I am just an ordinary person
What's inside of me is average variety
Internally, I possess only average qualities
Oh darling don't rely on me
Don't depend on me; I am not reliable
I am the ordinary
I am simply an ordinary individual
Once again I left you incomplete
I have left you feeling incomplete once again
So afraid to stay here endlessly
Fearful of staying in this situation for an extended period
Don't dare to see inside of me
Don't have the courage to reveal my true self
You might get scared if you take a look too deep
Fearful of exposing my deeper, possibly unsettling aspects
I'm on my way to final misery
Heading towards a state of final despair
Still can't help myself I'm far too weak
Despite awareness, I am unable to change my weaknesses
I'm not what I'm supposed to be
I am not conforming to the expected standards
At least not the way you wanted me
At least not meeting your idealized version of me
When the longing gets too deep
When the desire becomes overwhelming
And you feel like you can't breath
Feeling suffocated and unable to cope
Let me take the cross for you
I am willing to bear the burden for you
When the world seems out of reach
When the world seems distant and unattainable
And you cannot fall asleep
You struggle to find peace and rest
Let me take the thoughts from you
I am offering to ease your burdens and worries
