Extraordinary
Rigby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My life is so ordinary
wanna be extraordinary
I have been so blind to see
that I could never be, like you

but how do you do?
when something is burning up on me
trying to be someone that I wish I wanted to be like
well it's a strange life

My life is so ordinary
wanna be extraordinary
I have been so blind to see
that I could never be, like you

but how do you do?
when something is burning op on you
such a cold truth
you're someone that I know I never could be like
such a strange life
but it's a quite nice to be loved by you

my life is so ordinary
wanna be extraordinary
I have been so blind to see
that I could never be, like you

like me, like you, like me





Like you, like me, I could never be like you
you could never be like me, I could never be like you
