Lyrics

[00:20.62] Live a life less ordinary.
[00:22.88] Live a life extraordinary with me.
[00:25.73]
[00:29.45] Live a life less sanitary.
[00:31.81] Live a life evolutionary with me.
[00:35.30]
[00:38.13] Well, I hate to be a bother,
[00:39.99] But it's you and there's no other, I do believe.
[00:45.22] You can call me naive,
[00:46.43] But I know me very well,
[00:49.05] At least as far as I can tell,
[00:51.16] And I know what I need.
[00:52.92]
[00:56.27] The night you came into my life
[00:58.58] Well, it took the bones of me
[01:00.00] Took the bones of me.
[01:01.10] You blew away my storm and strife
[01:03.52] And shook the bones of me
[01:04.67] Shook the bones of me.
[01:06.03]
[01:06.28] By the way,
[01:07.78] I do know why you stayed away.
[01:11.97] I will keep tongue tied next time.
[01:15.38] Live a life less ordinary.
[01:17.18] Live a life extraordinary with me.
[01:20.13]
[01:23.36] My face has said too much
[01:25.67] Before our hands could even touch
[01:28.00] To greet a hello.
[01:30.00] So much for going slow.
[01:32.60] A little later on that year
[01:34.91] I told you that I loved you, dear.
[01:37.27] What do you know?
[01:38.98] This, you weren't prepared to hear.
[01:41.34] I'm a saddened man.
[01:42.79] I'm a broken boy.
[01:43.85] I'm a toddler with a complex toy.
[01:46.46] I'm falling apart
[01:48.63] Since the outburst on your heart.
[01:50.64] The night you came into my life
[01:52.97] Well, it took the bones of me
[01:54.62] Took the bones of me.
[01:55.61] You blew away my storm and strife
[01:58.20] And shook the bones of me
[01:59.19] Shook the bones of me.
[02:00.49] By the way,
[02:02.35] I do know why you stayed away.
[02:06.47] I will keep tongue tied, but
[02:09.93] Honey, understand
[02:11.84] Honey, understand.
[02:13.91] I won't make demands.
[02:18.29]
[02:18.98] Honey, understand
[02:21.19] Honey, understand
[02:22.99] We could walk without a plan.
[02:28.21] Honey, understand
[02:29.66] Honey…
[02:30.62] Honey, understand
[02:32.23] I won't rest in stone,
[02:35.97] All alone.
[02:37.49] Honey, understand
[02:39.44] Honey, understand
[02:41.79] I'm all ready to go.
[02:45.65] But you already know.
[02:47.61]
[02:55.86] Live a life less ordinary.
[02:57.77] Live a life extraordinary with me.
[03:01.96]
[03:04.28] If I could name you in this song,
[03:06.48] Would it make you smile and sing along?
[03:08.90] This is the goal,
[03:11.01] To get into your soul.
[03:13.12] If I could make you dance for joy,
[03:15.49] Could that be the second chance to coy
[03:17.79] The bird in hand
[03:18.99] I would need
[03:20.14] To help you understand.
[03:22.30] The night you came into my life
[03:24.51] Well, it took the bones of me
[03:25.83] Took the bones of me.
[03:26.98] You blew away my storm and strife
[03:29.59] And shook the bones of me
[03:30.70] Shook the bones of me.
[03:32.17] By the way,
[03:33.99] I do know why you stayed away.
[03:38.50] I will keep tongue tied next time.
