Take a deep breath and dive down into the river
Wrap all your fingers round the roots of a tree
Count Mississippis till you see stars
Two restless boys in a country town
Doing anything to keep from feeling ordinary
Got a cheap board and paddled out through open water
Where you bargain with a God to stay alive
And the dance beneath your skin oh of sweet adrenalin
Does everything to keep you from feeling ordinary
Waves throw you round and drag you under
But it was you who stole the air from my lungs
Fooled around with death, gambled my last breath
Wanted you to see me as someone more than ordinary
Trace the shape of my life around the headland
Catch a ride on a memory to the shore
Staring at the sun, I've finally begun
To see the beauty in things ordinary
Staring at the sun, I've finally begun
To see the beauty in things ordinary
