A Life Less Ordinary
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics

I didn't think I would make it,
I believed everyone was against me and survival was unlikely.

Thought everybody was against me
I perceived that no one was on my side.

All those conquered eyes
The judging looks of defeated adversaries.

And Christmases alone
Spending festive holidays without family, friends or loved ones.

I never gave an honest answer
I never responded to questions truthfully and sincerely.

But I need a lot of angry organs
I prefer internalizing my resentment but eventually must vent my frustrations.

Are we copacetic? Are we behaving now?
Are we in agreement or harmony? Are we acting appropriately?

Filling up on endless enzymes
Sustaining myself on the vital and potent aspects of others' lives.

From other peoples softly insides
Circulating acquired influence that emanates from the depths of people's souls.

All this bitterness is starting to grow cold
The resentment and anger is diminishing and becoming frigid.

Encompanies an empty evening, hanging
Fills the silence and isolation of a solitary night.

Onto complications
Clings to issues and obstacles that are difficult to resolve.

Sometimes quick sand has a massive appeal
At times, sinking into emotional entrapment seems remarkably alluring.

To me
Personally desirable and tempting.

I want to be somewhere else
I desire to relocate and experience a different environment.

I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna need a
I believe I know the solution but it cannot be achieved unassisted.

Little help to get me
Assistance to initiate or complete a task.

To get me through it
To enable me to overcome the obstacle successfully.

I always knew I had the answer
I always had a premonition about the solution to the problem.

But I never understood the question
I never comprehended the root of the problem and its implications.

Indoor living
Spending most of life indoors, isolated from nature and sunlight.

Lacerated to the bone
Deeply hurt or wounded emotionally and mentally.

And now we've realigned the edges
We have resolved the differences and achieved harmony.

I'm doing very well I thank you
I am thriving, and I express my gratitude.

All this sympathy is starting to wear me down
The well-intended empathy and concern are becoming overwhelming.

I wish I was someone else
I wish to be someone other than myself.

I'll try to work this out
I will attempt to find a solution.

I'll try to get it on
I will make a concerted effort to succeed.

I like to tell you that I'm ready
I prefer to indicate my preparedness for any eventuality.

For whatever's coming
For any situation or challenge that ensues.

But to be honest there's a part of me
In truth, there is a component of myself.

That loses control
That relinquishes a firm grip on reality.

I think I can figure it out but I'm gonna
I believe I can determine the solution but still need.

Need a little help to get me through it
Assistance to navigate through the challenge successfully.
