OneRepublic - Ordinary Human lyrics

rate me

Today, I took a walk in the clouds

Today, I took a walk in the clouds

Used to keep my eyes wide shut

But now I'm staring down.

Today, I felt a switch in my veins

Today, I felt a switch in my veins

Used to be a shadow

Now, the shadows scream my name.

And in the daylight I could swear that we’re the same.

Chorus:

But I’m just an ordinary human, ordinary ways

I’m just an ordinary human,

But I don’t feel so ordinary today.

I’m just your picture perfect nothing

Sometimes I medicate

I’ll be a picture perfect human

Before the sun comes down today.

Today, I felt a switch in my vein

Today, I made them all afraid

Used to be a shadow

Now, the shadows scream my name

And in the daylight I could swear that we’re the same.

Chorus:

I’m just an ordinary human, ordinary ways

I’m just an ordinary human,

But I don’t feel so ordinary today.

I’m just your picture perfect nothing

Sometimes I medicate

I’ll be a picture perfect human

Before the sun comes down today.

I’m just an ordinary human,

But I don't feel so typical, no, today!

They'll be peace in the city tonight

Peace in the city tonight

But when I'm gone

I hope they get it right

They'll be peace in the city tonight

Peace in the city tonight

And when I'm gone

I hope they get it right

They'll be peace in the city tonight

Peace in the city tonight

When I'm gone, I hope they’ll get it right!

They'll be peace in the city tonight

Peace in the city tonight

When I'm gone, I hope they’ll get it right!

(Just an ordinary human)

Peace in the city tonight

(Ordinary way)

Peace in the city tonight

(An ordinary human)

Peace in the city tonight

(I don’t feel so ordinary today)

Peace in the city tonight

(But when I’m gone, I hope they’ll get it right!)
