Tim Be Told - Ordinary lyrics

rate me

Verse 1

Why am i such in a rush to be somebody?

leaving behind all the things I’d rather be

I don’t know how success ever mattered to me

daddy always told me only doctors and some lawyers succeed

in what we call the present day

my mama always said that I would never stand a chance in this world

singing’ my life away

I may never be a times square poster

and I’ll never be on a popular magazine

I may never be an actor on the big screen

and I don’t remember if I ever cared at all

Chorus

I’m just an ordinary guy

just getting by

riding the tide trying to hide

I’m just an ordinary face

finding my place

you won’t remember my name

after I go away

Verse 2

Everyone tells me I’m a rare condition

and maybe that God has a different plan for me

I don’t presume to know

the reason’s a mystery

people always telling me that I am something special

well it’s too much pressure to take

the preacher always told me that Jesus might be watching me

throwing my life away

I may never be a perfect person

but I’ll do my best to try to make you happy

and I will never meet your expectations

but I never cared at all

Bridge

Count to thirty look around you can’t find me

funny how I blend so well w

the mob scene

Twenty years and I’m still empty handed

and I’m still here fading away
