Ordinary Over Epic

something i can’t lie about
something i can’t create
something’s getting closer to the light
i don’t fall for an artificial synthetic faith or television trend at night

i choose ordinary over epic
that’s the real thing we’ve got
fantastic on paper in person i am not

and for all that i’m wrong the brighter it gets
we are only as strong as all the flaws we let on

someone tells it like it is
someone sings out of key
someone gets me closer to the light
even if i miss a happy ending occasionally

i choose ordinary over epic
it’s the only thing i got
so damn good in pictures but as people we are not

it’s the real thing we’ve got
so damn good on paper in pictures but as people we are not

and for all that i’m wrong still no regret
we are only as strong as all the flaws we let on

i know the more that i’m wrong so high and so low
i’ve been wrong before i know
i been wrong before i know
