I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...
Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these song?
It's for the girl I've loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd last forever
But i knew exactly where i was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world
EARLY VERSION:
I fear that I am ordinary
Just like everyone
Lying here to die
Among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done
Is gone and dead
As all things surely have their end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I was meant to see it all
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals
But I'm forever broken
Speak the space and you
Will surely fall away
Will one day have to part
And all great loves
Will one day be apart
I know that I was meant to see it all
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for sure
For thinking that I'd live forever
But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the dignity of grave
And I knew the murmurs in your soul
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the slightness of your smile
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew
Everything's gonna be alright
