Look in the mirror tell me what do you see Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night You want to think you're different, but you know you never can You're just another ordinary man Hey politician, can't believe a word you say Almighty media, whose truth d'you serve today? Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you? Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to? The more I get to see, the less I understand I'm just another ordinary man CHORUS: Ordinary man Ordinary man Just another ordinary man Comes a time to take a stand No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman Everybody plays the game they played since time began Lawyers and accountant - your media man Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head I see the flash of lightnin' I hear the thunder roll A hungry knife, a slice of life It cuts another soul Power finds a way to those who take a stand Stand up ordinary man Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free But now I feel the chains of its responsibility I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can That's the only answer... for an ordinary man CHORUS No such thing as easy answers You play to win and you take your chances CHORUS Here's to health, here's to wealth May you never doubt yourself CHORUS

Cast away, all the enemies of yesterday To alleviate, all the memories that come our way There's a better life, now you know that I am on your side Your beady eyes, burn a hole right through the back of mine I am out of time I'm an ordinary man Like everybody else Just a common counterfeit I'm an ordinary man Hesitate, while the world is just a step away To recreate, all the innocence that time can take I am wide awake I'm an ordinary man Like everybody else Just a common counterfeit I'm an ordinary man I'm an ordinary man Like everybody else Just a common counterfeit I'm an ordinary man I'm an ordinary man

I lie half awake, late at night I reach out to touch, feel you by my side And I reach, and I reach, but I never get to feel you Will I ever get to feel you again? Again? Just one more time, one more moment to take you in my arms One more chance, one more kiss, before I wake to find you gone One more time, before I have to face another day And my heart breaks again It's only a dream, but it's also real I don't want it to end, but I know it will So I pray, and I pray, every night I'm on my knees Begging for the chance to see you again, again Just one more time, one more moment to take you in my arms One more chance, one more kiss, before I wake to find you gone One more time, before I have to face another day And my heart breaks again One more time, before I have to face another day And my heart breaks again, again

Jag har skrivit ditt namn på en spegel med läppstift Och jag vet det låter klyschigt Och du har ritat ett hjärta på spegeln med läppstift Men nu faller vi helt fritt, uh För du sa att mitt stjärntecken var ett problem för vi båda dragna till drama Men jag tror inte astrologi är den saken som fick oss att dala För du frågade om jag dör för dig Men baby jag vill leva nu Och det är 02: 00 och du ringer nonstop Och vi gör det som förut Och du kan catcha mig i sängen, gör ba' grejer som hon älskar nu You took my breath away, vill ändå aldrig andas ut Du var min Mandy Moore, Mandy Moore Och jag går tillbaks för ofta fast vår kärlek är på låtsas Du är min Mandy Moore, du är min Mandy Moore Alla tårar har jag torkat när mitt hjärta blivit krossat Jag ser bara gyllende portar Och huvudet sitter och glor Ja, i mina ögon så finns en historia Den sista förloraren har nog den fulaste kronan Så snurra min flaska igen Sanning på sanning, det blir konsekvens Älskar det stökiga i våran cell Den brukar vara grå men den lyser ikväll Och rött är så vackert Så blodet jag blöder, det droppar i timmar ibland Och rött är så vackert Jag gör vad som helst Jag kan köpa dig rosor i plast Så catcha mig i sängen, gör ba' grejer som hon älskar nu You took my breath away, vill ändå aldrig andas ut Du var min Mandy Moore, Mandy Moore Och jag går tillbaks för ofta fast vår kärlek är på låtsas Du är min Mandy Moore, du är min Mandy Moore Alla tårar har jag torkat när mitt hjärta blivit krossat If we're talking about someone who's never been upfront We should be talking about you Well I'm gonna be upfront now, I'm not over you En akilleshäl och en ängel En explosion och min låga Min första kyss i regnet Och den enda som fått mig att komma Mitt bästa sex och mitt enda ex och mitt andetag och vårt nederlag Kritiker står här på bion idag Recensionen är bra Men jag får gåshud när jag ser dig nu Och hur mår du när allt är difust? Catcha mig för sista gången så att vi kan andas ut Du var min Mandy Moore, Mandy Moore Och jag går tillbaks för ofta fast vår kärlek är på låtsas Du är min Mandy Moore, du är min Mandy Moore Alla tårar har jag torkat när mitt hjärta blivit krossat Why don't you just be honest with me and tell me which hand you're leaning towards?

Faded sky, faded tan, floorboard still full of sand Summer heat's droppin', closin' up shoppin' Lonely boardwalk empty rides, ghosts of lovers wave goodbye The carnival's cryin', birds all flyin', south I take a turn on your Mama's street wishin' I could catch a peek Of you on that front step, like "Boy are you here yet?" But I know the truth in the lonesome sound of the choked leaves when they hit the ground Summertime's dyin' birds all flyin', south Well it might be over you might be gone Might not miss me you might've moved on But my love will still be hangin' around When the birds fly south I'm Passin' Burke's and that neon sign I laugh about the punch you threw that night No you never did like her, but I never thought you'd fight her And if I close my eyes I can feel your kiss taste the salt drippin' off your lips But I'm brought back down to Earth by a breeze so cold it hurts Well it might be over you might be gone Might not miss me you might've moved on But my love will still be hangin' around When the birds fly south When winter sets in When springtime rolls back to summer again Well it might be over you might be gone Might not miss me you might've moved on But my love will still be hangin' around When the birds fly south

We was just kids, but she looked like a woman Everything she was, was everything I wanted We were both willin', but still a little guarded She smiled, I smiled, that's when it all started The two of us in the backseat Lights off on a backstreet I'd show her and then she'd show me Right there, right there in the backseat Yeah, in the backseat I'd flashed the headlights and she slipped out the back door Didn't have to say nothin', we knew what we were here for With every first kiss, I could feel her heart race I'd fumble with the buttons while she was touchin' my face And what to do next, she knew that I didn't know She'd smile and say "Boy make it up as you go" The two of us in the backseat Lights off on a backstreet I'd show her and then she'd show me Right there, right there in the backseat Yeah, in the backseat Sometimes I think about her, yeah sometimes I guess you never forget your first time The two of us in the backseat Lights off on a backstreet I'd show her and then she'd show me Right there, right there in the backseat Yeah, in the backseat
