Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I fear that I am ordinary just like everyone

To lie here and die among the sorrows

Drift among the days

[Verse 2]

For everything I ever said

And everything I've ever done is gone

And dead

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

My life has been extraordinary

Blessed and cursed and won

Time heals, but I'm forever broken

By and by the way

[Verse 5]

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?

[Verse 6]

As all things must surely have to end

Great loves will one day have to part

I know that I am meant for this world

[Verse 7]

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 live forever

[Verse 8]

But I knew 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

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

And the world is drawn into your hands

And the world is etched upon your heart

And the world, so hard to understand

In the world you can't live without

[Verse 11]

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
