Lyrics for Song: Ordinary Day
Lyrics for Album: Icon: Vanessa Carlton [2011]
I
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy,
But he was looking to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds just what he's looking for
Like a shooting star, he shines
And he said:
Refrain
"Take my hand,
Live while you can.
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand?"
II
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel, no
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words couldn't heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time
And he said:
Refrain
"Take my hand,
Live while you can, oh.
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand?
Oh, in the palm of your hand?"
Oh, oh
Bridge
Please, come with me
See what I've seen
Touch the stars for time will not freeze
Time will not freeze, can you see?
III
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And that boy, that ordinary boy
Was it all in my head?
Didn't he ask, if I would come along,
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal
And he said:
Refrain
"Take my hand,
Live while you can, oh.
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand?
Oh, in the palm of your hand?
Oh, in the palm of your hand?"
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
