My Ordinary Side

Your face is wild
Emotion playing shows
My eyes, they wait
I'm trying not to show what I'm thinking, dear
But you always seem to know
My walls disappear

So I try, then I try
Still you see I'm not alright
Well is bright
What I keep in
Coming out like rays of light
So what I don't mind
Take my ordinary side
Until you'll lighten up my day
I think I'll never get it right
So what?
So what?

It's always been a tidal tug-of-war
Get up, fall down
And pleasure to endure
But you draw me out
Across the ups and downs
Find that middle ground

So I try, then I try
Still you see I'm not alright
Well is bright
What I keep in
Coming out like rays of light
So what I don't mind,
Take my ordinary side
Until you'll lighten up my day
I think I'll never get it right

Things get so unreal
How do you think straight
When you lose your point of view
I know what's right
I'm gonna be that tonight

So I try, then I try
Still you see I'm not alright
Well is bright
What I keep in
Coming out like rays of light
So what I don't mind,
Take my ordinary side
Until you'll lighten up my day
I think I'll never get it right
So what?
So what?
So what?
Oh
