Ordinary Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you say that we lost our way
No heart for a better day
Hear the words that I need to say
Before you turn away
Everybody hurts the same

[Verse 2]
Though we both know that I'm to blame
There's no mercy in breaking chains
So if you turn away
Tell me, will it hurt the same?

[Chorus]
I really wonder if I could
Find another way
Oh, won't you tell me that you would
Find the heart to stay?
Will you be there when I fall
To my knees and pray
For an ordinary day?
An ordinary day

[Verse 3]
Say you'll stay here through all the lines
Take my weakness and steal my pride
So can we turn the page?
Everybody hurts the same
[Chorus]
I really wonder if I could
Find another way
Oh, won't you tell me that you would
Find the heart to stay?
Will you be there when I fall
To my knees and pray
For an ordinary day?
An ordinary day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Bob Moses say about "Ordinary Day"?
Genius Answer

“We’re big fans of 90’s dance music and the production of this song is paying respects to some our favorite electronic acts (Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Crystal Method, Massive Attack etc.) We conclude the albums story here with some self-awareness and the desire to have a moment of normalcy. When anxiety is high, the return to normalcy is often one’s main focus. You may not have all the answers, but sometimes learning more about yourself can be the most valuable lesson.”
- Bob Moses told Purple Sneakers
