Onerepublic Ordinary Human Lyrics

[Intro: Ryan Tedder]
Today I took a walk in the clouds
Today I took a walk in the clouds
Used to keep my eyes wide shut
But now I'm staring down

[Verse 1: Ryan]
Today I felt a switch in my veins
Today I felt a switch in my veins
Used to be a shadow
Now the shadows scream my name

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan]
And in the daylight I could swear that
We're the same

[Chorus: Ryan]
But I'm just an ordinary human
Ordinary ways
I'm just an ordinary human
But I don't feel so ordinary today
I'm just your picture perfect nothing
Sometimes I medicate
I'll be a picture perfect human
Before the sun comes down today

[Verse 2: Ryan]
Today I felt a switch in my vein
Today I made them all afraid
Used to be a shadow
Now the shadows scream my name

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan]
And in the daylight I could swear that
We're the same

[Chorus: Ryan]
But I'm just an ordinary human
Ordinary ways
I'm just an ordinary human
But I don't feel so ordinary today
I'm just your picture perfect nothing
Sometimes I medicate
I'll be a picture perfect human
Before the sun comes down today

I'm just an ordinary human
But I don't feel so typical
(No)
Today

[Instrumental interlude]

[Bridge: with choir]
They'll be peace in the city tonight
Peace in the city tonight
But when I'm gone
I hope they get it right
They'll be peace in the city tonight
Peace in the city tonight
And when I'm gone
I hope they get it right

[Bridge: with Chorus]
(Just an ordinary human)
They'll be peace in the city tonight
(Ordinary ways)
Peace in the city tonight
(I'm an ordinary human)
When I'm gone
(I don't feel so ordinary today)
I hope they get it right

[Outro: Ryan]
But when I'm gone
I hope they get it right
