Ordinary life

Pay the bills, watch tv
Day in, day out the same routine
Mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again
We go to church, go to work
So picture perfect that it hurts
I feel like I'm trapped inside
This ordinary life

Shelly's at the kitchen table
Crayons, construction paper
Hey Mom, look what I drew
Its a picture of me and you
And later when he says his prayers
She runs her fingers through his hair
So thankful for everyday

They pay their bills, watch tv
Day in, day out that's all they need
Mow the grass fix the leak just to fix it again
They go to church go to school
Everyday it's something new
So precious are the days as they go by
In their ordinary life

Phone rings, he's calling from the airport
Its midnight, he's all alone again
He says I can't belive how much I've missed
And what I wouldn't give
