Ordinary Man

Take me down.
Take me down deeper.
And deeper, and deeper.
Take me down till I fall.
Hold me when I fall.

I wasn't meant to walk on water.
I wasn't meant to wear a crown of thorns.
I wasn't meant to live for yesterday.
I wasn't meant to be the one for whom you morn.

But I will, till I drown.

Desperation's calling.
Leaving me love letters.
Written in the sand.
But they'll be washed away by morning.
Carried off on waves to a distant land.

I wasn't meant to stop the sky from falling.
I wasn't meant to stop your midnight screams.
I wasn't meant to live on borrowed tomorrows.
I wasn't meant to fulfill your every dream.

But I will, till I drown.

Desperation's calling.
Leaving me lost letters.
Written by my own hand.
But they'll be carried away by morning.
Because I'm just an ordinary man.
