Ordinary Things

Verse 1
I still remember smoking in the parking lot
Talking fast so we could keep the world out
You had scars where you tried to hide your thoughts
I had silence I could never speak out loud
You took roads I never thought I’d try
I was counting reasons just to stay alive
You said, “Don’t ask questions you don’t wanna know”
Then you disappeared into the radio
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I think about you all the time
Every version of your life
How you were fighting ghosts I couldn’t see
While you were trying to believe in me
Chorus
I hope you’re living easy now
I hope you’re sleeping through the loud
I hope you only fear the simple things
Like dark streets and falling leaves
I hope you settle down somewhere
And find someone who really cares
And you’re scared of only ordinary things
Not your soul and what He might do with it
Not your soul and what He might do with it
Verse 2
We were driving down those broken highway lines
Heater broke but we were feeling fine
You were chasing static in the winter air
Singing like nobody was there
You said music could read your mind
Like it knew the secrets you couldn’t find
But the world gets scared of anything that stays
So it burns the birds that hesitate
And I know I should’ve said more back then
Instead of watching you fade into the wind
Pre-Chorus
Yeah I think about you all the time
Every echo of your life
How you were carrying too much weight
Just to smile and say you were okay
Big Chorus (Final)
I hope you’re living easy now
I hope you’re sleeping through the loud
I hope you only fear the simple things
Like broken locks and fragile wings
I hope you found someone who stays
Through every version of your days
And you’re scared of only ordinary things
Not your soul and what He might do with it
Bridge (Big Pop Build)
Maybe we were always running out of time
Talking like we had forever on our minds
You were fire, I was learning how to burn
Too afraid to leave but still too scared to learn
Final Chorus (Higher Energy)
I hope you’re living easy now
I hope you finally figured out
That not everything is meant to break
Or keep you wide awake
I hope you settle down somewhere
And find a love that’s soft and rare
And you’re scared of only ordinary things
Not your soul and what He might do with it
