Lyrics

Ordinaire

[Verse 1]

If there's a no where, you want to go there

If there's no one, you want to know them

If there's nothing, it equals something

Which is still nothing and there's no point to that

[Pre-Chorus]

I see, your lips

Are moving but you can't speak

[Chorus]

Don't waste breath trying to scream it all out

You've got far more to worry about

Can't dismiss it as nothing

You're an ordinaire in modern times

Ordinaire, you can't hide

Ordinaire, you can't hide it away

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 2]

If you're conscience, then I'm breathless

Do you sleep well? I'm always restless

Are you alright? I'm always uptight

Which is constantly and there's no point to me

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I see, your mouth

Is moving around

[Chorus]

Wake up late, try to get with the times

There's none left to rehearse all your lines

Can't dismiss it as not anything

You're ordinaire in modern times

Ordinaire, you can't hide

Ordinaire in modern times

Ordinaire, you can't hide it away

[Break]

Ah...

[Chorus]

Don't waste breath trying to scream it all out

You've got far more to worry about

Can't dismiss it as nothing

You're an ordinaire in modern times

Ordinaire, you can't hide

Ordinaire in modern times

Ordinaire, you can't hide it away

You can't hide it away

You can't hide it away

You can't hide it away
