Text: Carbon Leaf. Indian Summer. Life Less Ordinary.
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
Live a life less sedentary
Live a life evolutionary with me
Well, I hate to be a bother
But it's you and there's no other, I do believe
You can call me naive but
I know me very well at least as far as I can tell
And I know what I need
The night you came into my life
Well, it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away
I will keep tongue tied next time
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
My face had said too much
Before our hands could even touch
To greet a 'Hello', so much for going slow
A little later on that year
I told you that I loved you, dear
What do you know?
This you weren't prepared to hear
I'm a saddened man, I'm a broken boy
I'm a toddler with a complex toy
I've fallen apart since the ambush on your heart
The night you came into my life
Well, it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away
I will keep tongue tied but
Honey understand, honey understand
I won't make demands
Honey understand, honey understand
We could walk without a plan
Honey understand, honey, honey understand
I won't rest in stone all alone
Honey understand, honey understand
I'm all ready to go but you already know
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
If I could name you in this song
Would it make you smile and sing along?
This is the goal, to get into your soul
If I could make you dance for joy
Could that be the second chance to coy?
The bird in hand I would need
To help you understand
The night you came into my life
Well, it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way I do know why you stayed away
I will keep tongue tied next time
Live a life extraordinary with me
