I fear that I'm ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows, adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary, blessed and cursed and won
Time heals, but I'm forever broken, by and by the way
Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs
It's for the girl I've loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong?
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind, as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed, I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd last forever
But I know exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world, so hard to understand
Is the world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
