ordinary people

Running down a road, one I've come to know
Birds are waking up, close my eyes it feels like home
Thinking about the ship, the one that brought me here
The waves I had to battle , the wind I had to steer through
When my feet found the sand, sand helped me stand
Stand on my own and take a good look around
And my heart had to heal, took time to grieve
Had room to move, had space to breathe
So many mountains, that look like mole hills now
You said I didn't know what I wanted, but I do, its you
I know the you that I've been chasing Isn't the us that we had
Oh – hoo – hoo – hoo
Oh – hoo – hoo - hoo
A pocket full of dreams, ripped at the seams
Plans turned to dust, dust filled my lungs
And I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak
So I looked to the ocean hoping it would swallow me up
Thinking maybe I could push the feelings under the water
Till they would not come up
It's so funny how the mind works
You try to be somebody just to please somebody
Then you don't know where the line is
Where the truth starts and the fairy tale begins
All at once, and once and for all
Your hearts in a mess, you've taken the fall
We're all ordinary people
Ordinary people
Oh – hoo – hoo – hoo
Oh – hoo – hoo – hoo --- Hey!
You said I didn't know what I wanted,
But I did, it was you
I know there was love in a life that we once had
I can be happy with that
