Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Today I took a walk on the clouds
Today I took a walk on the clouds
Used to keep my eyes wide shut
But now I'm starin' down
[Verse 2]
Today, I felt a switch in my vein
Today, I felt a switch in my veins
Used to be a shadow
Now, the shadows scream my name
[Verse 3]
And in the daylight, I could swear
We're the same
[Verse 4]
But I'm just an ordinary human
Ordinary ways
I'm just an ordinary human
But I don't feel so ordinary today
I'm just your picture perfect nothing
Sometimes I medicate
I'll be the picture perfect human
Before the sun goes down today
[Verse 5]
Today I felt a switch in my vein
Today I made them all afraid
Used to be a shadow
Now the shadows scream my name
[Verse 6]
And in the daylight, I could swear
We're the same
[Verse 7]
I'm just an ordinary human
Ordinary ways
I'm just an ordinary human
But I don't feel so ordinary today
I'm just your picture perfect nothing
Sometimes I medicate
I'll be the picture perfect human
Before the sun comes down today
I'm just an ordinary human
But I don't feel so typical, no, today
[Verse 8]
There'll be peace in the city tonight
Peace in the city tonight
But when I'm gone
I hope they get it right
[Verse 9]
There'll be peace in the city tonight
Peace in the city tonight
And when I'm gone
I hope they get it right
[Verse 10]
Just and ordinary human (There'll be peace in the city tonight)
Ordinary ways (Peace in the city tonight)
I'm an ordinary human (When I'm gone)
I don't feel so ordinary today (I hope they get it right)
[Verse 11]
But when I'm gone
I hope they get it right
