Extraordinary
Seabird Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Honey i know it's been far too long
Since we've been friends
And trust me I know
That just one song
Won't make a diffrence
When i hurt you the way
I did
Didn't mean to

But i know that don't
Change the fact
That I did, yes i did

This love ain't ordinary love
It's extraordinarily unlikely love
This love ain't ordinary love
It's extraordinarily unlikely love

Honey let's go where our roots can grow
And love can bloom whitin
A river so deep my headstrong heart
Won't beat without you again
And I won't hurt you the way I did
I'm forgiven but i know forgiveness
Don't mean
You forget, don't forget

This love ain't ordinary love
It's extraordinarily unlikely love
This love ain't ordinary love
It's extraordinarily unlikely love

Instrumental

Walk with me and sing me to sleep Baby please believe me
Just walk with me and sing me to sleep
Baby please
Believe

This love ain't ordinary love
It's extraordinarily unlikely love
This love ain't ordinary love
It's extraordinarily unlikely love

End

Overall Meaning

he song "Extraordinary" by Seabird is a heartfelt apology and plea for forgiveness from a person who deeply hurt a friend. The singer acknowledges that it's been too long since they've talked and understands that one song won't magically fix everything. The chorus emphasizes that this love is not ordinary, but rather an unlikely love that is somehow special and worth fighting for. The singer suggests going back to a place where their relationship can grow (where their roots can grow) and asks for a chance to prove that they can be trusted again. The final section of the song consists of an instrumental break followed by a repetition of the chorus, with the singer asking to walk together and for the other person to believe in them.

The song taps into universal themes of hurting someone we care about and desperately wanting to make things right. The lyrics are simple yet powerful and, combined with the soaring melody and emotive vocals, make for a moving listening experience. One interpretation of the song is that it speaks to a romantic relationship, but it could also refer to a close platonic or familial bond. Overall, "Extraordinary" is a poignant reminder that forgiveness is possible, and that some loves are worth the extra effort to mend and strengthen.
