Ordinary Life
Cruel Intentions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I shed my soul, feel it kneeling down
I'm clutching my faith, pull it tightly around
you're moving your mouth, but you don't make a sound
but I feel the walls sowly tearing down
heel to toe take you from my side
in and out every breath divides
my eyes to your head, I can't go the distance
but when you go you take me in an instant
but in this life, I'll give it time
cause it's always swimming up from behind
it'll be alright, it will be fine
cause it's nothing more than ordinary life
So I'll show you my sins, show me all your scars
as we settle in it's written in the stars
your watery eyes got me simply floating
and my weak heart is swimming with devotion
but in this life,I'll give it time
cause it's always swimming up from behind




It'll be alright, it will be fine
cause it's nothing more than ordinary life
