Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and I, we're two old and tortured souls
Repaired by a love of broken things
In a life, just some bodies growin' old
No fear of the end, of anything
[Verse 2]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually
[Verse 3]
We got by, though we never needed much
A sliver of hope, no diamond rings
We got high, it was Heaven, it was Hell
Flyin' over them with broken wings
[Verse 4]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually
(Oh) Just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually
[Verse 5]
Our bones forever in stone
Monuments of life
To dust, as everything must
We fade away in time, oh
[Verse 6]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually
(Oh) Just two ordinary people, you and me
(Oh) Time will turn us into statues eventually
