Ordinary People Lyrics

Met you out late last night
Lost my voice but you didn’t mind
Held my waist to your own
Danced all night and kissed me slow
Morning comes and you text me
“We should go somewhere that we
can hang our souls by our teeth,
falling quickly and ever deep.”

Well you came ‘round at half past five
You hate the movies but I didn’t mind
I said I know a lookout, dear
We could go not far from here
To cast our mind’s and rest your head
On my shoulder ‘till it’s dead
Oh my love so it seems,
My world stops when you look at me

Mmm, when you look at me
Mmm,

I really hope that you don’t leave like ordinary people
But a fool could see that you would never be in love as deep
And it tears me apart

Days they fly, nights fall down
Trace your footsteps all over town
I don’t know where they’ll end up
But if I’m with you that’s enough
You told me ‘bout the man you loved
For two years straight then you hung it up
When you caught him with your best friend
Now you’re scared to ever love again

Mmm, but I’d always be there
Mmm,

I really hope that you don’t leave like ordinary people
But a fool could see that you would never be in love as deep
And it tears me apart

I know I know I know
I know I know I know I know
That you would never be in love
I know I know I know
I know I know I know I know
That you would never be in love as deep
And it tears me apart

What is the Meaning of Ordinary People?

In a world where love is often fleeting, this poignant melody delves into the depths of a relationship marked by fear and uncertainty. The lyrics tell the story of two lovers caught in an emotional whirlwind— one scarred by past betrayal, the other yearning for a deeper connection. The protagonist pleads with his partner not to leave like 'ordinary people,' expressing his fear of their love being short-lived or superficial. Through tender verses, he reassures her of his steadfastness, promising to be there even when she's afraid to love again. However, he also acknowledges the painful truth that she might never reciprocate his feelings fully due to her past wounds. This bittersweet song encapsulates the struggle and beauty of loving someone who may not be ready to dive deep into the ocean of commitment and vulnerability.
