Ordinary Love

I know it's not the way you feel

You're not the only one who brings me down

I play that broken role

That makes you languish in my life

Mother say your prayers tonight

Making a distraction so that

You don't have to pay

Come on now, it's starting

I know it's ordinary love

Making the argument that I

Can never age

And all these pretty things are dead

I've never felt a love that's

Really taken hold of me

And I've no doubt that it's my fault

Why can't we make up?

What can't we just sit around

And sit around

And pretend we, all like, just

Like each other

I know it's ordinary love

I don't mean to criticise

But I will

All the others that were waiting

All the others, that were faking

It's so revealing, who you are

Though I think it's never me

What makes it real is my reality

Covering a life of shame

Can you hear me?

I know it's ordinary love

Don't break the silence where I hide

The match will burn every light in me

No concern for the man I want to be

The patter patter of our minds
