I fear that I am ordinary
just like everyone
to lie here + die among the sorrows
adrift among the days
and everything I've ever said
and everything I've ever done is gone + dead
as all things will one day 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 + 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 songs
it's for the girl I've loved all along
can a taste of love be so wrong
as all things will one day have to end
and great loves one day have to part
I'm sure that I am meant for this world

and of this world
we surely do belong
where grace can be wronged
and for this world
we pretend to be strong
and for this world
we're sure we belong

[added on the side]

and of this world
where memory lingers on
where love can be wronged
your last breath will be drawn

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 the world you can't live without
and i knew the silence of the world
