Ordinary Way
Yearning in Ordinary Ways: Unveiling the Emotional Tapestry of 'Ordinary Way' by Mike Shupp
Lyrics
Would it complicate matters
Contemplating if expressing emotions would complicate things
If I missed your smile
Reflecting on the impact of missing the other person's smile
My life is still the same
Stating that life hasn't changed despite the passage of time
After all this while
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the current situation
Ordinary days, ordinary ways
Expressing the desire in ordinary ways during ordinary days
Of wanting you
Continuing to express the longing for the other person
Could it be any sadder
Pondering if the situation could be any sadder
When you hide your tears
Noting the sadness when the other person hides their tears
Has nothing really changed
Questioning if anything has truly changed over the years
After all these years
Reflecting on the unchanged aspects of life over time
Ordinary days, ordinary ways
Reiterating the theme of ordinary days and ways of longing
Of wanting you
Continuing to express the ordinary nature of the longing
And you never had a clue
Pointing out that the other person never realized or considered
Or gave a second thought
Emphasizing the lack of awareness or consideration in love
Love can't find you where you are
Suggesting that love may not find the person in their current state
That's not what you were taught
Contrasting the current situation with what was taught about love
But you never take the chance
Noting the hesitation or reluctance to take a chance in love
Always too much to lose
Highlighting the perceived risk and fear of losing too much
It's easier to make amends
Indicating a preference for making amends rather than choosing
And never have to choose
Suggesting that not making a choice is easier than taking a chance
But I won't wait any longer
Declaring a decision not to wait any longer for a connection
Just to feel your touch
Expressing the importance of feeling the other person's touch
I never ever guessed
Admitting surprise at the significant meaning of the touch
It would mean this much
Reflecting on the unexpected depth of emotions involved
Ordinary days, ordinary ways
Repeating the theme of ordinary days and ways of longing
Of wanting
Expressing the ongoing desire in ordinary ways
Waiting for the day, believing in the way
Anticipating and believing in a future day of connection
I'm wanting you
Continuing to express the longing for the other person
Ordinary days, ordinary ways
Reiterating the theme of ordinary days and ways of longing
Of wanting you
Continuing to express the ordinary nature of the longing
Wanting you
Emphasizing the persistent desire for the other person
Wanting you
Repeating the sentiment of longing for the other person
